Overview

About 40a

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

40a is a five-bedroom detached house in Wilpshire, Blackburn, Blackburn (BB1 9PX). It has a recorded floor area of 206 m² (around 2217 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The property has solar panels and an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 206 m² the property is well over the postcode median (105 m² across 29 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1995–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£230/sq ft) was about 35.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: July 2022 at £510,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 40a is modelled from its 206 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 9PX. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 40a. 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 40a was lodged in February 2014 at band D and expired in February 2024, 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. 3 applications are matched to 40a. 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 11 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 9PX, not by walking route.
Council tax band
40a 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.
