About 5 Bank Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Bank Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB1 2AX). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2004–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £153,000 sits 80% above the 2016 sale of £85,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£74/sq ft) was about 21.9% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 107 m² it's 21.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (88 m² median across 18 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs). Last sold in March 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

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 5 Bank Lane is modelled from its 107 m² EPC floor area, its 3 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. 3 sales are recorded for 5 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 5 Bank Lane was lodged in April 2015 at band E and expired in April 2025, 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. 3 applications are matched to 5 Bank Lane. 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 2AX, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 5 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.
