Overview

About 16 Balaclava Street

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

16 Balaclava Street is a mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 7HW). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since October 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since April 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £122,000 sits 273.1% above the 1995 sale of £32,700. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£37/sq ft) was about 15.8% below the postcode norm. At 83 m² it's 17% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (100 m² median across 27 EPCs).
