About 15 Furness Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Furness Avenue is a semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB1 5SE). 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 an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since March 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £135,000 sits 58.8% above the 2006 sale of £85,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£96/sq ft) was about 15% 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 15 Furness Avenue is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 5SE. 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 Furness Avenue. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 35 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 5SE, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 15 Furness 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.
