Overview

About 17 Barshaw Gardens

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

17 Barshaw Gardens is a four-bedroom detached house in Appleton, Warrington, Warrington (WA4 5FA). It has a recorded floor area of 172 m² (around 1851 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since June 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1996–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £596,000 sits 52.8% above the 2014 sale of £390,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£211/sq ft) was about 49.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in July 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

How to read this page

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 17 Barshaw Gardens is modelled from its 172 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WA4 5FA. 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 17 Barshaw Gardens. 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 17 Barshaw Gardens was lodged in September 2015 at band D and expired in September 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 17 Barshaw Gardens. 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 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WA4 5FA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
17 Barshaw Gardens is in council tax band F. 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.
