How the estimate is made
The estimate for 252a is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB2 4HU. 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.

About 252a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
252a is an end-of-terrace house in Blackburn (BB2 4HU). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since October 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 62 m² this is the 6th smallest of 53 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 48–114 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the bottom.
At 62 m² it's 29.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (88 m² median across 52 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement.

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 252a is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB2 4HU. 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. No sale is recorded for 252a, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 252a was lodged in February 2016 at band F and expired in February 2026, 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. None is matched to 252a. 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 40 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB2 4HU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 252a 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.
