23 Whitehead Street, Blackburn, BB2 1HT
About 23 Whitehead Street
23 Whitehead Street is a mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB2 1HT). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 1996, a hold of 30 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 111 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £117,000 sits 631.3% above the 1996 sale of £16,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£13/sq ft) was about 37.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2025. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
