About 29 Sandpiper Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
29 Sandpiper Close is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB1 6LG). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2024) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump.
Held since October 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £112,000 sits 64.7% above the 2007 sale of £68,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£126/sq ft) was about 72.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 50 m² it sits well below the postcode median (77 m² across 29 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs).
