Overview

About 8 Gloucester Road

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

8 Gloucester Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Rishton, Blackburn, Blackburn (BB1 4BN). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and a loft.

It hasn't traded since February 2006, a hold of 21 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £230,000 sits 54.4% above the 2006 sale of £149,000. At 98 m² it's 16.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (84 m² median across 9 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2014.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Gloucester Road is modelled from its 98 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 4BN. 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 8 Gloucester 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 8 Gloucester Road was lodged in August 2016 at band D and expired in August 2026, 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 8 Gloucester 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 4BN, not by walking route.
Council tax band
8 Gloucester Road is in council tax band C. 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.
