Overview

About 840 Whalley New Road

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

840 Whalley New Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB1 9BD). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 57 m² it sits well below the postcode median (92 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Across 2004–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £179,000 is 30.2% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£224/sq ft) was about 117.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 840 Whalley New Road is modelled from its 57 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 9BD. 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 840 Whalley New Road. 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 840 Whalley New Road was lodged in January 2014 at band E and expired in January 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 840 Whalley New Road. 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 9BD, not by walking route.
Council tax band
840 Whalley New Road 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.
