About 20 Bentham Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
20 Bentham Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Culcheth, Warrington, Warrington (WA3 5EQ). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.
Across 2006–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £279,000 sits 53.7% above the 2016 sale of £181,500. 5 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in May 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 20 Bentham Road is modelled from its 87 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WA3 5EQ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 20 Bentham Road. 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 20 Bentham Road was lodged in December 2015 at band D and expired in December 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to 20 Bentham Road. 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 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WA3 5EQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 20 Bentham Road is in council tax band C. 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.
