Overview

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.
