About 142 144
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
142 144 is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Warrington (WA4 6QA). It has a recorded floor area of 19 m² (around 205 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 19 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across 142 144 (19–22 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows a C (score 72). Earlier certificates rated it B (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor.
Held since January 2008 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 19 m² it sits well below the postcode median (80 m² across 51 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,076/sq ft) was about 669.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2004.

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 142 144 is modelled from its 19 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WA4 6QA. 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 142 144. 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 142 144 was lodged in October 2019 at band C and is valid until October 2029. 8 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 142 144. 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WA4 6QA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 142 144 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.
