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 £225,000 sits 228.5% 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).

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 340 Preston Old Road is modelled from its 140 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB2 5LJ. 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 340 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 340 Preston Old Road was lodged in December 2013 at band E and expired in December 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 340 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB2 5LJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
340 Preston Old Road 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.
