About 9 Benson Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
9 Benson Street is a semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB1 5PP). It has a recorded floor area of 28 m² (around 301 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 28 m² this is the 7th smallest of 18 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–83 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 1997–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £124,000 sits 125.5% above the 2018 sale of £55,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£182/sq ft) was about 165.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). Last sold in March 2018, so it's been off the market for around 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 9 Benson Street is modelled from its 28 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 5PP. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 9 Benson 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 9 Benson Street was lodged in October 2014 at band D and expired in October 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 5PP, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 9 Benson 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.
