About 17 Elm Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Elm Street is a mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 5NL). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £118,000 sits 61.6% above the 2018 sale of £73,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£83/sq ft) was about 45% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in June 2018 and unlisted since — roughly 8 years.

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 17 Elm Street is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 5NL. 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 17 Elm Street. 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 17 Elm Street was lodged in March 2014 at band D and expired in March 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 17 Elm Street. 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 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 5NL, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 17 Elm Street 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.
