About 4 Wharf House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Wharf House is a two-bedroom detached house in Blackburn (BB2 4PH). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 518 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. At 48 m² this is the 9th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–54 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows a C (score 72). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since October 2008. The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since May 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £110,000 sits 202.5% above the 1998 sale of £36,361. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£70/sq ft) was about 22.7% below the postcode norm.

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 4 Wharf House is modelled from its 48 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB2 4PH. 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 4 Wharf House. 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 4 Wharf House was lodged in September 2009 at band C and expired in September 2019, 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 4 Wharf House. 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 38 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB2 4PH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 4 Wharf House 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.
