Overview

About 4 Pickering Fold

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

4 Pickering Fold is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB1 2LH). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in February 2016 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Held since June 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 79% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £201,000 is 34.9% above the 2007 sale price.
