About 20 Balaclava Street
20 Balaclava Street is a mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 7HW). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2017) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since October 2015. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump.
It hasn't traded since November 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £129,000 sits 303.1% above the 1998 sale of £32,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£34/sq ft) was about 22.3% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs).
