Overview

About 17 Neath Close

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

17 Neath Close is an end-of-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 8JB). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2013); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 116 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 40 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £155,000 sits 123% above the 2014 sale of £69,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£56/sq ft) was about 33.3% below the postcode norm. Last sold in November 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
