About 15 Cromwell Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Cromwell Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 1RL). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (June 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £124,000 is 30.5% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£68/sq ft) was about 18.8% 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 Cromwell Street is modelled from its 129 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 1RL. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 15 Cromwell 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 Cromwell Street was lodged in January 2016 at band E and expired in January 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 Cromwell 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 41 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 1RL, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 15 Cromwell 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.
