About 3 Cromwell Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Cromwell Street is a 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 (August 2016) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (January 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £126,000 sits 472.7% above the 1998 sale of £22,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£16/sq ft) was about 73.1% below the postcode norm.

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 3 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 3 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 3 Cromwell Street was lodged in August 2016 at band F and expired in August 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 3 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
- 3 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.
