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 17 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 £378,000 sits 104.3% above the 2009 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£101/sq ft) was about 58.9% below the postcode norm.
