Overview

About Sibaya

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

Sibaya is a four-bedroom detached house in Ramsgreave, Blackburn, Blackburn (BB1 9DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 211 m² (around 2271 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2024) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include notable views and attached land beyond the plot.

Held since May 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 211 m² the property is well over the postcode median (134 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £526,000 sits 228.8% above the 1998 sale of £160,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£70/sq ft) was about 61.3% below the postcode norm.

How to read this page

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 Sibaya is modelled from its 211 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 9DJ. 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 Sibaya. 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 Sibaya was lodged in September 2024 at band D and is valid until September 2034. 3 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 Sibaya. 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 9DJ, not by walking route.
Council tax band
Sibaya 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.
