About 2 Pier House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Pier House is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 1BH). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. At 47 m² this is the 6th smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–56 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in January 2011. Today's modelled estimate of £98,000 sits 96% above the 2011 sale of £50,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£99/sq ft) was about 16.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 2 Pier House is modelled from its 47 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 1BH. 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 2 Pier House. 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 2 Pier House was lodged in May 2014 at band D and expired in May 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 2 Pier House. 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 45 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 1BH, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 2 Pier House 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.
