About 8 Pier House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Pier House is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 1BH). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. At 45 m² this is the 5th 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 2026) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since February 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good; while main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Held since August 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 2002–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 19.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £106,000 sits 63.1% above the 2006 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£134/sq ft) was about 54.3% 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 8 Pier House is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales 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. 2 sales are recorded for 8 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

- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8 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
- 8 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.
