Overview

About 1 Colenso Road

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

1 Colenso Road is a detached house in Blackburn (BB1 8DR). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in November 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2000 — that's 26 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 £199,000 sits 298% above the 2000 sale of £50,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£49/sq ft) was about 44.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2024.
