About 3 Sandpiper Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Sandpiper Close is a mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 6LG). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 5 certificates since November 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since February 2002 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £108,000 sits 585.7% above the 2002 sale of £15,750. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£18/sq ft) was about 76% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs).

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 3 Sandpiper Close is modelled from its 80 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 6LG. 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 3 Sandpiper Close. 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 44 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 6LG, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 3 Sandpiper Close 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.
