Overview

About 340 Preston Old Road

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

340 Preston Old Road is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Blackburn (BB2 5LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £212,000 sits 209.5% above the 2001 sale of £68,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£45/sq ft) was about 56% below the postcode norm. At 140 m² it's 26.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (111 m² median across 33 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs).
