Overview

About 16 Furness Avenue

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

16 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 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 4 certificates since July 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 26 years, with the last transfer in May 2000. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £137,000 sits 246.8% above the 2000 sale of £39,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£45/sq ft) was about 48.2% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs).
