Overview

About 5 Blackthorn Close

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

5 Blackthorn Close is a semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB1 6PU). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (March 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 148 m² it's 23.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (120 m² median across 7 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £219,000 sits 81% above the 2013 sale of £121,000. Last sold in April 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
