Overview

About 682 Preston Old Road

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

682 Preston Old Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Blackburn (BB2 5EP). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Last sold in May 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Across 2007–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £146,000 is 39% above the 2015 sale price.

How to read this page

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 682 Preston Old Road is modelled from its 103 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB2 5EP. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 682 Preston Old Road. 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 682 Preston Old Road was lodged in December 2015 at band E and expired in December 2025, 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 682 Preston Old Road. 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 11 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB2 5EP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
682 Preston Old Road is in council tax band B. 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.
