Overview

About 6 Swallow Drive

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

6 Swallow Drive is an end-of-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 6LE). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a C (score 71). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since October 2012. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 68 m² the property is well over the postcode median (49 m² across 46 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2005–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at -0.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £114,000 is 42.5% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£109/sq ft) was about 16% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in February 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years.
