Overview

About 1 Barford Drive

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

1 Barford Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Lowton, Warrington, Warrington (WA3 1DD). It has a recorded floor area of 208 m² (around 2239 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 208 m² the property is well over the postcode median (99 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £434,000 sits 80.8% above the 2016 sale of £240,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2023. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in November 2016.

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 1 Barford Drive is modelled from its 208 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WA3 1DD. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Barford Drive. 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 1 Barford Drive was lodged in July 2016 at band D and expired in July 2026, 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 1 Barford Drive. 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WA3 1DD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Barford Drive is in council tax band E. 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.
