Overview

About 5 Kingfisher Close

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

5 Kingfisher Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Blackburn (BB1 8NS). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since October 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
