Overview

About Lower House Cottage

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

Lower House Cottage is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Eccleston, Chorley, Chorley (PR7 5QS). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and outbuildings.

At 63 m² it sits well below the postcode median (94 m² across 26 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). Across 2014–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £213,000 is 43.9% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£218/sq ft) was about 48.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in November 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2013.

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 Lower House Cottage is modelled from its 63 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR7 5QS. 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 Lower House Cottage. 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 Lower House Cottage was lodged in March 2014 at band E and expired in March 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Lower House Cottage. 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR7 5QS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Lower House Cottage 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.
