About 8 Devonport Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Devonport Road is a mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB2 1EJ). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since May 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since April 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. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £107,000 is 42.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£89/sq ft) was about 68.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 8 Devonport Road is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB2 1EJ. 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 8 Devonport Road. 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 8 Devonport Road was lodged in June 2014 at band D and expired in June 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 8 Devonport Road. 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 1EJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Devonport Road 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.
