Overview

About 3 Reading Close

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

3 Reading Close is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 1EL). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 73 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (73–90 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (31 versus a best of 76). Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 56), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £103,000 sits 106% above the 2017 sale of £50,000. 9 years since the last transfer (May 2017).
