About 3 Bank Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Bank Lane is a semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB1 2AX). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since November 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 113 m² it's 28.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (88 m² median across 18 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 22.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £162,000 is 29.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£103/sq ft) was about 17.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2021.

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 Bank Lane is modelled from its 113 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 2AX. 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 3 Bank Lane. 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 Bank Lane was lodged in April 2015 at band F and expired in April 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 2AX, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 3 Bank Lane is in council tax band B. 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.
