About 17 Merchants Landing
17 Merchants Landing is a four-bedroom detached house in Blackburn (BB1 1BU). It has a recorded floor area of 156 m² (around 1679 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 156 m² the property is well over the postcode median (63 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1995–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £225,000 sits 67.9% above the 2014 sale of £134,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£80/sq ft) was about 30.5% below the postcode norm. Last sold in August 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
