Overview

About 16 Oxford Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

16 Oxford Drive is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB1 2DW). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73).

It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 123 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 33 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £220,000 is 47.7% above the 2007 sale price.
