About Greenhill Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Greenhill Cottage is a detached house in Lower Whitley, Warrington, Warrington (WA4 4JD). It has a recorded floor area of 426 m² (around 4585 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band H. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2010–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,151,000 is 37.8% below the 2022 sale of £1,850,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£403/sq ft) was about 81.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 426 m² the property is well over the postcode median (201 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Sold June 2022 for £1,850,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 Greenhill Cottage is modelled from its 426 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WA4 4JD. 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 Greenhill Cottage. 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 Greenhill Cottage was lodged in March 2015 at band D and expired in March 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to Greenhill Cottage. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 24 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WA4 4JD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Greenhill Cottage is in council tax band H. 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.
