Overview

About 12 Birchdale Road

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

12 Birchdale Road is a semi-detached house in Paddington, Warrington, Warrington (WA1 3ER). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £216,000 sits 323.5% above the 1998 sale of £51,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£79/sq ft) was about 69.2% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs).
