About 6 Waterfront
6 Waterfront is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 1EE). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band A. At 43 m² this is the 8th smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 39–49 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in September 2007. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £103,000 sits 51.6% above the 2007 sale of £67,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£147/sq ft) was about 96% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
