Overview

About 27 Sussex Drive

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

27 Sussex Drive is a mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 1EN). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since December 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 87 m² the property is well over the postcode median (48 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £117,000 sits 719.3% above the 2001 sale of £14,280.
