Overview

About 31 Ribchester Road

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

31 Ribchester Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Wilpshire, Blackburn, Blackburn (BB1 9HU). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1028 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 64), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 96 m² it's 29.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (135 m² median across 23 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 31 Ribchester Road is modelled from its 96 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 9HU. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 31 Ribchester 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 31 Ribchester Road was lodged in March 2012 at band F and expired in March 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 31 Ribchester 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 9HU, not by walking route.
Council tax band
31 Ribchester 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.
