About 16 Thorn Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Thorn Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Paddington, Warrington, Warrington (WA1 3HQ). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £208,000 sits 98.1% above the 2013 sale of £105,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£177/sq ft) was about 25.5% below the postcode norm. On the market in March 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years.
