About 45 Elmwood
45 Elmwood is a detached house in Chorley (PR7 1UU). It has a recorded floor area of 187 m² (around 2013 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since September 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since February 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 187 m² the property is well over the postcode median (116 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £378,000 sits 339.5% above the 1998 sale of £86,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£43/sq ft) was about 75.7% below the postcode norm.
