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 £184,000 is 33.8% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£224/sq ft) was about 127.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
