1 Bracken Close, Blackburn, BB2 5AH

1 Bracken Close is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB2 5AH). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2016 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2000, a hold of 26 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. At 112 m² the property is well over the postcode median (65 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £275,000 sits 304.4% above the 2000 sale of £68,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£56/sq ft) was about 62.1% below the postcode norm.
