About 8 Ferndale
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Ferndale is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB1 5HH). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 696 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £143,000 is 32.4% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£155/sq ft) was about 142.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 8 Ferndale is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 5HH. 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 8 Ferndale. 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 Ferndale was lodged in May 2009 at band D and expired in May 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 8 Ferndale. 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 38 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 5HH, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 8 Ferndale 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.
