About 26 Rothesay Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
26 Rothesay Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB1 2EL). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (April 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 82 m² it's 20.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (68 m² median across 33 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2005–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £126,000 sits 53.7% above the 2013 sale of £82,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£93/sq ft) was about 40.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2003.

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 26 Rothesay Road is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 2EL. 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 26 Rothesay Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
