About 19 Merchants Quay
19 Merchants Quay is a detached house in Blackburn (BB1 1BS). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 1995, a hold of 31 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. At 102 m² the property is well over the postcode median (76 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £232,000 sits 205.3% above the 1995 sale of £75,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£69/sq ft) was about 48.4% below the postcode norm.
