About 186 Montague Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
186 Montague Street is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB2 1ED). It has a recorded floor area of 399 m² (around 4295 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in November 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 399 m² the property is well over the postcode median (133 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 8 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 7 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £248,000 is 10.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£52/sq ft) was about 52.9% 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 186 Montague Street is modelled from its 399 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB2 1ED. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 186 Montague Street. 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 186 Montague Street was lodged in November 2015 at band D and expired in November 2025, 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. 8 applications are matched to 186 Montague Street. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 43 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB2 1ED, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 186 Montague Street is in council tax band B. 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.
