About 15 Fountains Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Fountains Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 5RX). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2016 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 15 Fountains Avenue is modelled from its 93 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 5RX. 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 15 Fountains Avenue. 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 15 Fountains Avenue was lodged in March 2016 at band D and expired in March 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 15 Fountains Avenue. 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 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 5RX, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 15 Fountains Avenue 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.
