Overview

About 6 Bracken Close

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

6 Bracken Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB2 5AH). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 61), 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. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in November 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 107 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 £240,000 is 47.2% above the 2007 sale price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 6 Bracken Close is modelled from its 107 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB2 5AH. 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 6 Bracken Close. 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 6 Bracken Close was lodged in May 2016 at band D and expired in May 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 6 Bracken Close. 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 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB2 5AH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
6 Bracken Close is in council tax band C. 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.
