About The Lawns
The Lawns is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Heckmondwike (WF16 0AL). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 402 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band A. At 37 m² this is the 8th smallest of 14 units on EPC record in The Lawns, where floor areas span 34–63 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 14 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since April 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 37 m² it sits well below the postcode median (63 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £104,000 is 38.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£187/sq ft) was about 89.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
