About 5 Whitehead Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
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 (81 m² across 20 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 £120,000 sits 100% above the 2021 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£41/sq ft) was about 125.3% 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.

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 5 Whitehead Street is modelled from its 136 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB2 1HT. 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 5 Whitehead 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 5 Whitehead Street was lodged in December 2015 at band D and expired in December 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. 1 application is matched to 5 Whitehead 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 1HT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Whitehead Street 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.
