1 Poole Street, Blackburn, BB1 3JS

1 Poole Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB1 3JS). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since January 2008 — that's 18 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. At 104 m² the property is well over the postcode median (75 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, a porch and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £156,000 is 30% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£107/sq ft) was about 51.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
