Overview

About Rockcliffe

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

Rockcliffe is a detached house in Appleton, Warrington, Warrington (WA4 5LE). It has a recorded floor area of 267 m² (around 2871 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 267 m² the property is well over the postcode median (108 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £786,000 is 31% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£209/sq ft) was about 17.1% below the postcode norm. Last sold in July 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2001.

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 Rockcliffe is modelled from its 267 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WA4 5LE. 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 Rockcliffe. 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 Rockcliffe was lodged in May 2009 at band D and expired in May 2019, 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 Rockcliffe. 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 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WA4 5LE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Rockcliffe 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.
