About 4 East Park Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 East Park Avenue is a semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB1 8DT). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since July 2014. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 31 years, with the last transfer in April 1995. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £214,000 sits 375.6% above the 1995 sale of £45,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£32/sq ft) was about 77.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 East Park Avenue is modelled from its 132 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 8DT. 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 East Park Avenue. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 4 East Park Avenue was lodged in September 2015 at band D and expired in September 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 4 East Park Avenue. 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 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 8DT, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 4 East Park Avenue is in council tax band C. 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.
