About 10 Besant Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
10 Besant Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Blackburn (BB1 2RG). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 107), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 82 m² it's 21.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (105 m² median across 28 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2002–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £216,000 is 33.3% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£184/sq ft) was about 66.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 9 years ago, in October 2017. One planning record on file: a garage conversion refused in 2009.

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 10 Besant Close is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales 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. 3 sales are recorded for 10 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

- 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.
