Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on L40: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead
L40 sees about 24 sales a month, which suits pricing from the latest sold homes better than from any single average or trend.
For sellers, the spread in L40 is wide, with most sales between £175,000 and £565,500, so the closest sold homes of your type say much more than the middle; roughly 24 sales a month is enough for buyers to compare, so evidence beats optimism.
Sell houseWhen buying here, on price, L40 is close to the UK average, so the sold homes of your type are the yardstick to hold an asking price to.
Worth checking before you commit: planning history nearby (580 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and council tax (Band D is £2,430 a year); your conveyancer should look at the title too.
For what the averages cannot tell you, the free L40 OfferCheck brings flood, crime, planning and council tax together.

In plain English
What the Chorley (L40) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £435,000 against £121,200 for flats: about 3.6 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £175,000 and £565,500, so the median says little about any one home.
- This is an active district: about 24 recorded sales a month.

These are Chorley's charges for 2026-27, the authority L40 falls in, not an estimate for any individual home. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and we never guess it; look up a band on GOV.UK and read your row. Bands reflect what a home was worth on 1 April 1991, not today.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled L40 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 5 to decile 10, with a median of decile 7 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
L40 7SF, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 7 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so L40 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in L40: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

What it costs to run a home in L40, band by band
Chorley's council tax for 2026-27 set against the L40 median sold price of £285,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearChorley | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £285,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,620 | £135 | 0.57% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,890 | £158 | 0.66% |

| H | over £320,000 | £4,860 | £405 | 1.71% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the L40 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
