Overview

About 1 Balmoral Drive

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

1 Balmoral Drive is a detached house in Brinscall, Chorley, Chorley (PR6 8ST). It has a recorded floor area of 171 m² (around 1835 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in February 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 171 m² the property is well over the postcode median (118 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £374,000 sits 102.2% above the 2009 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£101/sq ft) was about 61.2% below the postcode norm.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Balmoral Drive is modelled from its 171 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR6 8ST. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Balmoral Drive. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 1 Balmoral Drive was lodged in October 2008 at band E and expired in October 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Balmoral Drive. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR6 8ST, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Balmoral Drive is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
