8 Blacksmith Walks, Buckshaw Village, Chorley, PR7 7BP

8 Blacksmith Walks is a mid-terrace house in Buckshaw Village, Chorley, Chorley (PR7 7BP). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band A. At 57 m² this is the 4th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 45–125 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 12 units on file. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £123,000 is 12.9% below the 2007 sale of £141,282, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£230/sq ft) was about 20.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 57 m² it's 26% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (77 m² median across 11 EPCs).
