About 4 Douglas Place
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Douglas Place is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB1 9SW). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2014. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Last sale on file: £105,000 in September 2021. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 1999–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £131,000 is 24.8% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£134/sq ft) was about 93.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 4 Douglas Place is modelled from its 73 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 9SW. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 4 Douglas Place. 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 4 Douglas Place was lodged in June 2014 at band D and expired in June 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 4 Douglas Place. 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 9SW, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 4 Douglas Place is in council tax band A. 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.
