3a, Anderson Road, Wilpshire, Blackburn, BB1 9LZ

3a is a detached house in Wilpshire, Blackburn, Blackburn (BB1 9LZ). It has a recorded floor area of 168 m² (around 1808 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 95), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since September 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 168 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £282,000 sits 398.2% above the 1999 sale of £56,600. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£31/sq ft) was about 81.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 1999. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
