About 4 Merchants House
4 Merchants House is an end-of-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 1ED). 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. At 42 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–43 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 71). The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since February 2014. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since October 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £111,000 sits 270.1% above the 1996 sale of £29,995.
