1 Besant Close, Blackburn, BB1 2RG

1 Besant Close is an end-of-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 2RG). It has a recorded floor area of 200 m² (around 2153 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2013. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since March 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. At 200 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £245,000 sits 75% above the 2003 sale of £140,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£65/sq ft) was about 42.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
