Overview

About 18 Amberwood Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

18 Amberwood Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB2 4UF). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2020) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

Today's modelled estimate of £171,000 is 42.5% above the 2009 sale price.
