About 17 Cromwell Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Cromwell Street is a mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 1RL). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since February 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1998–2003, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £130,000 sits 293.9% above the 2003 sale of £33,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£27/sq ft) was about 60% below the postcode norm. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 77% of similar EPCs).

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 17 Cromwell Street is modelled from its 112 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales 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. 3 sales are recorded for 17 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 17 Cromwell Street was lodged in November 2013 at band D and expired in November 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 17 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
- 17 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.
