1 Belper Street, Blackburn, BB1 5HA

1 Belper Street is a four-bedroom detached house in Blackburn (BB1 5HA). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

At 96 m² the property is well over the postcode median (64 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £195,000 sits 60.5% above the 2011 sale of £121,500. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in October 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.
