Overview

About 7 Somerset Avenue

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

7 Somerset Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wilpshire, Blackburn, Blackburn (BB1 9JD). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 124 m² it sits well below the postcode median (183 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2005–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £351,000 is 19% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£221/sq ft) was about 19.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in January 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years.

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 7 Somerset Avenue is modelled from its 124 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 9JD. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 7 Somerset Avenue. 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 7 Somerset Avenue was lodged in July 2015 at band E and expired in July 2025, 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 7 Somerset Avenue. 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 9JD, not by walking route.
Council tax band
7 Somerset Avenue 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.
