About 9 Waterfront
9 Waterfront is an end-of-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 1EE). 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. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 42 m² this is the 6th 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 across 9 units on file.
It hasn't traded since February 1995, a hold of 31 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 £116,000 sits 246.3% above the 1995 sale of £33,500.
