About 5 Whitehead Street
5 Whitehead Street is a mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB2 1HT). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1464 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and window efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 136 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2009–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £122,000 sits 103.3% above the 2021 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£41/sq ft) was about 150.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Most recent transfer: July 2021 at £60,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
