How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Copse Close is modelled from its 123 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 6NJ. 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.

About 5 Copse Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Copse Close is a mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 6NJ). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (August 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 20 years, with the last transfer in May 2006. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 123 m² it's 20.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (102 m² median across 12 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 2005–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £182,000 is 21.4% above the 2006 sale price.

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 5 Copse Close is modelled from its 123 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 6NJ. 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 5 Copse Close. 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 5 Copse Close was lodged in May 2016 at band D and expired in May 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 5 Copse Close. 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 38 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 6NJ, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 5 Copse Close is in council tax band C. 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.
