About 1 Besant Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
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.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 1 Besant Close is modelled from its 200 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 2RG. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Besant Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 1 Besant Close was lodged in February 2015 at band D and expired in February 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Besant Close. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 2RG, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 1 Besant Close is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
