About West Burdens

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

It has a recorded floor area of 150 m² (around 1611 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve.

It hasn't traded since May 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. At 150 m² the property is well over the postcode median (115 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 9 planning records sit against the property, 9 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a conservatory, tree works and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 1996–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,279,000 is 45.3% above the 2011 sale price.
