About 17 Kingsmead
17 Kingsmead is a three-bedroom detached house in Blackburn (BB1 2BP). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2013. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since September 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. At 77 m² it's 29.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (110 m² median across 16 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £196,000 is 39% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£170/sq ft) was about 16.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
