About 1 Birch Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Birch Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Leigh (WN7 5SU). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2013) returns a high B (score 91), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in February 2012 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 94). The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £137,000 sits 251.3% above the 2007 sale of £39,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£47/sq ft) was about 26.8% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2013.
