About 1 Brunel Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Brunel Drive is a detached house in Blackburn (BB1 1BD). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 531 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. At 49 m² this is the 8th smallest of 22 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 47–129 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (January 2010) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from January 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £105,000 sits 337.5% above the 2010 sale of £24,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£45/sq ft) was about 36% below the postcode norm. At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (72 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2014.

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 1 Brunel Drive is modelled from its 49 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 1BD. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Brunel Drive. 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 1 Brunel Drive was lodged in January 2010 at band C and expired in January 2020, 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 1 Brunel Drive. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 49 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 1BD, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 1 Brunel Drive 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.
