13 Hereford Road, Blackburn, BB1 3JZ

13 Hereford Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB1 3JZ). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 993 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2007 — that's 19 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 92 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 46 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 39.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £119,000 sits 60.8% above the 2007 sale of £74,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
