Overview

About 1 Oban Drive

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

1 Oban Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB1 2HY). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £144,000 is 27.2% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£127/sq ft) was about 46.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: July 2022 at £113,250. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
