Overview

About 18 Mere Fold

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

18 Mere Fold is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Charnock Richard, Chorley, Chorley (PR7 5EX). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 65), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £269,000 sits 63% above the 2014 sale of £165,000.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 18 Mere Fold is modelled from its 113 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR7 5EX. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 18 Mere Fold. 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 18 Mere Fold was lodged in July 2014 at band F and expired in July 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 18 Mere Fold. 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 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR7 5EX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
18 Mere Fold is in council tax band C. 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.
