About 8 Avebury Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Avebury Close is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB2 3WA). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2020) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump.
At 50 m² it sits well below the postcode median (88 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Sold February 2022 for £100,000. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2002. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2003–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £116,000 is 16% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£186/sq ft) was about 201.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 8 Avebury Close is modelled from its 50 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB2 3WA. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 8 Avebury Close. 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 8 Avebury Close was lodged in February 2020 at band D and is valid until February 2030. 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 8 Avebury Close. 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 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB2 3WA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Avebury Close 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.
