About 8 Bishopstone Close
8 Bishopstone Close is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB2 3WD). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since February 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 23.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £126,000 is 32.6% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£101/sq ft) was about 23.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
