Overview

About 5 Colenso Road

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

5 Colenso Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 8DR). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £187,000 is 47.2% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£124/sq ft) was about 42.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2015, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
