Overview

About 34 Chester Street

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

34 Chester Street is an end-of-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 1BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (March 2016); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £125,000 sits 861.5% above the 1997 sale of £13,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£12/sq ft) was about 72.4% below the postcode norm. At 99 m² it's 23.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (80 m² median across 15 EPCs).
