How the estimate is made
The estimate for 15 Devon Road is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 3LA. 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.

About 15 Devon Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Devon Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB1 3LA). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2014 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2015–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 56.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £156,000 sits 88% above the 2016 sale of £83,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£104/sq ft) was about 25.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in January 2016, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2018.

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 15 Devon Road is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 3LA. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 15 Devon Road. 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 15 Devon Road was lodged in July 2015 at band D and expired in July 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 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 15 Devon Road. 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 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 3LA, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 15 Devon Road is in council tax band B. 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.
