About 4 Earl Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Earl Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 7ND). It has a recorded floor area of 153 m² (around 1647 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in August 1997. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 153 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 31 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £136,000 sits 547.6% above the 1997 sale of £21,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£13/sq ft) was about 79% below the postcode norm.

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 4 Earl Street is modelled from its 153 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 7ND. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 4 Earl Street. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 4 Earl Street. 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 42 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 7ND, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 4 Earl Street is in council tax band A. 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.
