Overview

About 4 Anchor House

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

4 Anchor House is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 1BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. At 48 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–55 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £105,000 sits 72.1% above the 2016 sale of £61,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£118/sq ft) was about 15.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2016, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
