About 1 Alma Wood Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Alma Wood Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Chorley (PR7 2FR). It has a recorded floor area of 175 m² (around 1884 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
At 175 m² the property is well over the postcode median (56 m² across 31 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). Across 2005–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at -0.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £328,000 sits 72.6% above the 2015 sale of £190,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£101/sq ft) was about 36.4% below the postcode norm. Last sold in August 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

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 1 Alma Wood Close is modelled from its 175 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR7 2FR. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 1 Alma Wood Close. 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 Alma Wood Close was lodged in March 2014 at band D and expired in March 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 1 Alma Wood Close. 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 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR7 2FR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Alma Wood Close is in council tax band D. 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.
