Overview

About Braemar House

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

Braemar House is a five-bedroom detached house in Wilpshire, Blackburn, Blackburn (BB1 9JD). It has a recorded floor area of 181 m² (around 1948 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

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 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £642,000 is 22.3% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£269/sq ft) was about 45.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in January 2018, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.

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 Braemar House is modelled from its 181 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale 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. 1 sale is recorded for Braemar House. 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 Braemar House was lodged in May 2015 at band F and expired in May 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 Braemar House. 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
Braemar House is in council tax band G. 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.
