About 1 Markham Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Markham Road is an end-of-terrace house in Blackburn (BB2 2SX). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 55 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (55–118 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 28 units on file. The latest certificate (April 2017) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).
Today's modelled estimate of £117,000 is 41.5% below the 2021 sale of £200,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£338/sq ft) was about 218.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (84 m² across 27 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Sold August 2021 for £200,000. 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 1 Markham Road is modelled from its 55 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB2 2SX. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Markham 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 1 Markham Road was lodged in April 2017 at band D and is valid until April 2027. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Markham 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 37 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB2 2SX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Markham 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.
