Overview

About 48 50

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

48 50 is a mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB2 1HG). It has a recorded floor area of 206 m² (around 2217 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 206 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 29 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £167,000 sits 912.1% above the 1999 sale of £16,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£7/sq ft) was about 91.8% below the postcode norm.
