About 2 Bank Hey Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Bank Hey Cottages is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 5QZ). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a C (score 73). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since December 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 90). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since September 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 63 m² it sits well below the postcode median (113 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 2007–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £150,000 is 20% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£184/sq ft) was about 79.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
