Overview

About 8 Thornton Close

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

8 Thornton Close is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Lowton, Warrington, Warrington (WA3 1DW). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 512 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (February 2011) shows a C (score 73).

Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £131,000 is 47.2% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£174/sq ft) was about 46.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 8 Thornton Close is modelled from its 48 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WA3 1DW. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 8 Thornton Close. 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 8 Thornton Close was lodged in February 2011 at band C and expired in February 2021, 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 8 Thornton Close. 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 1DW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Thornton Close is in council tax band A. 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.
