About 23 Merchants Quay
23 Merchants Quay is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB1 1BS). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1051 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £150,000 sits 206.1% above the 1996 sale of £49,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£47/sq ft) was about 64.9% below the postcode norm. At 98 m² it's 23.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (79 m² median across 9 EPCs).
