About 8 Clippers Quay
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Clippers Quay is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 1EB). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. At 42 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 18 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–61 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 4 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2004–2019, sale prices on this property compounded at 0.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £103,000 sits 87.3% above the 2019 sale of £55,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£122/sq ft) was about 63.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold June 2019 for £55,000.

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 8 Clippers Quay is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 1EB. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 8 Clippers Quay. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 8 Clippers Quay was lodged in April 2014 at band C and expired in April 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8 Clippers Quay. 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 1EB, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 8 Clippers Quay 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.
