About 30 Heron Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
30 Heron Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Blackburn (BB1 8NU). It has a recorded floor area of 159 m² (around 1713 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2010) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from July 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £365,000 sits 60.1% above the 2012 sale of £228,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 159 m² it's 25.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (127 m² median across 20 EPCs). Last sold in February 2012, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.

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 30 Heron Close is modelled from its 159 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 8NU. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 30 Heron Close. 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 30 Heron Close was lodged in July 2010 at band D and expired in July 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 8NU, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 30 Heron Close is in council tax band E. 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.
