16 Douglas Place, Blackburn, BB1 9SW

16 Douglas Place is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 9SW). It has a recorded floor area of 153 m² (around 1647 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 153 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 57 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £139,000 sits 73.8% above the 2007 sale of £80,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£49/sq ft) was about 32.9% below the postcode norm.
