Local market context
5 Ford Street is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Warrington (WA1 3QH). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2022) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
It hasn't traded since August 1999, a hold of 27 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. At 84 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £133,000 sits 297% above the 1999 sale of £33,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£37/sq ft) was about 67.6% below the postcode norm.
Recommended upgrades on file would lift this property by multiple EPC bands.
