About 60a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
60a is a mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB2 6BH). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 462 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 43 m² this is the 45th smallest of 68 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 17–477 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 68 units on file.
It hasn't traded since June 2004, a hold of 22 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £112,000 sits 286.2% above the 2004 sale of £29,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£63/sq ft) was about 188.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 43 m² it's 19.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (36 m² median across 67 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 60a is modelled from its 43 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB2 6BH. 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 60a. 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 60a was lodged in March 2010 at band E and expired in March 2020, 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 60a. 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 40 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB2 6BH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 60a is in council tax band A. 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.
