About 15 Walter Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Walter Street is a mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 1RD). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in July 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 102 m² it's 22.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (83 m² median across 44 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 20% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £108,000 is 27.1% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£77/sq ft) was about 184.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 15 Walter Street is modelled from its 102 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 1RD. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 15 Walter Street. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 15 Walter Street was lodged in January 2016 at band E and expired in January 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 5 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 15 Walter Street. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 43 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 1RD, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 15 Walter Street is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
