Overview

About 9 Colenso Road

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

9 Colenso Road is a semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB1 8DR). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in February 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since April 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £187,000 is 49.6% above the 2010 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£138/sq ft) was about 58.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
