About 170 Water Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
170 Water Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Chorley (PR7 1EX). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Last sold in August 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1995–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £155,000 is 29.2% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£186/sq ft) was about 80.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 60 m² it's 16.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (72 m² median across 10 EPCs).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 170 Water Street is modelled from its 60 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR7 1EX. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 170 Water Street. 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 170 Water Street was lodged in June 2016 at band D and expired in June 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 170 Water Street. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR7 1EX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 170 Water Street is in council tax band A. 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.
