About 5 Anchor House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Anchor House is a mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 1BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band A. At 54 m² this is the 7th smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 4–55 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £106,000 sits 63.1% above the 2022 sale of £65,000. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 88% of similar EPCs). Sold February 2022 for £65,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 5 Anchor House is modelled from its 54 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 1BZ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 5 Anchor House. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5 Anchor House. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 47 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 1BZ, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 5 Anchor House is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
