Overview

About 6 Birchbank Gardens

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

6 Birchbank Gardens is a semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB1 6NB). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in April 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 81 m² it's 22.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (66 m² median across 15 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £129,000 is 38.7% above the 2009 sale price.
