Overview

About The Old Chapel

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

The Old Chapel is an end-of-terrace house in Rishton, Blackburn, Blackburn (BB1 4JN). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 60 m² this is the 4th smallest of 5 units on EPC record in The Old Chapel, where floor areas span 47–69 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (August 2021) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74).

Today's modelled estimate of £129,000 is 48.4% below the 2023 sale of £250,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look.

How 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 The Old Chapel is modelled from its 60 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 4JN. 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 The Old Chapel. 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 The Old Chapel was lodged in August 2021 at band D and is valid until August 2031. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to The Old Chapel. 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 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 4JN, not by walking route.
Council tax band
The Old Chapel is in council tax band A. 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.
