About 15 Birchbank Gardens
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Birchbank Gardens is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 6NB). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2014) returns a high B (score 90), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.
At 122 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2003–2023, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £255,000 is 10.9% above the 2023 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£175/sq ft) was about 48.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: February 2023 at £230,000.

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 Birchbank Gardens is modelled from its 122 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 6NB. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 15 Birchbank Gardens. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 15 Birchbank Gardens was lodged in August 2014 at band B and expired in August 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 15 Birchbank Gardens. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 39 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 6NB, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 15 Birchbank Gardens is in council tax band B. 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.
