8 Belper Street, Blackburn, BB1 5HA

8 Belper Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB1 5HA). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2008 — that's 18 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 106 m² the property is well over the postcode median (64 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £179,000 is 49.2% above the 2008 sale price.
