About 12 Palmer Road
12 Palmer Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 8BU). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2013); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £136,000 is 43.2% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£87/sq ft) was about 18.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
