About 21 Highbank

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

21 Highbank is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB1 9SX). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2022) shows a G (score 13), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it F (September 2016); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good.
