Overview

About Holmlea

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

Holmlea is a three-bedroom detached house in Wilpshire, Blackburn, Blackburn (BB1 9HX). It has a recorded floor area of 158 m² (around 1701 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £438,000 is 25.1% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£206/sq ft) was about 18.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in January 2016.

Method

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 Holmlea is modelled from its 158 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 9HX. 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 Holmlea. 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 Holmlea was lodged in November 2015 at band E and expired in November 2025, 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. 1 application is matched to Holmlea. 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 9HX, not by walking route.
Council tax band
Holmlea is in council tax band F. 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.
