About 7 Old School House

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

7 Old School House is a mid-terrace house in Guide, Blackburn, Blackburn (BB1 2LW). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band A. At 40 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (40–47 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (May 2013) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in April 2013 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity.
