Overview

About 8 Alma Wood Close

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

8 Alma Wood Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Chorley (PR7 2FR). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since December 2009. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 62 m² this is the 22nd smallest of 32 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 49–175 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 32 units on file.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2005–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -3.4% per year.

How to read this page

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Alma Wood Close is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 2 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. 2 sales are recorded for 8 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 8 Alma Wood Close was lodged in April 2012 at band C and expired in April 2022, 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 8 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
8 Alma Wood Close is in council tax band B. 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.
