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 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £447,000 is 27.7% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£206/sq ft) was about 16.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in January 2016.
