Overview

About 1 Burnside

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

1 Burnside is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Bentham, Lancaster, Lancaster (LA2 7BP). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in May 2012 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on dual fuel. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony and outbuildings.

That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £317,000 is 44.1% above the 2007 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2001.
