About 7 Blenheim Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
7 Blenheim Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB1 8QL). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since October 2011. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in March 2012 and unlisted since — roughly 14 years. At 69 m² it's 29.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (98 m² median across 13 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £187,000 is 49.6% above the 2012 sale price.

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 7 Blenheim Close is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 8QL. 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 7 Blenheim 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 7 Blenheim Close was lodged in August 2013 at band D and expired in August 2023, 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. 2 applications are matched to 7 Blenheim Close. 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 8QL, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 7 Blenheim Close 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.
