8 Kingfisher Close, Blackburn, BB1 8NS

8 Kingfisher Close is a five-bedroom detached house in Blackburn (BB1 8NS). It has a recorded floor area of 203 m² (around 2188 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2011) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from September 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in June 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 203 m² the property is well over the postcode median (105 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £375,000 sits 212.5% above the 1998 sale of £120,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£55/sq ft) was about 65% below the postcode norm.
