About 76 Preston New Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
76 Preston New Road is a six-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB2 6BH). It has a recorded floor area of 477 m² (around 5134 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2017) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 3-band jump. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
At 477 m² the property is well over the postcode median (36 m² across 67 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 90% of similar EPCs). 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Across 2000–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £303,000 sits 63.8% above the 2016 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£36/sq ft) was about 65.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include change of use to residential, an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in December 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 76 Preston New Road is modelled from its 477 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales 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. 3 sales are recorded for 76 Preston New 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 76 Preston New Road was lodged in March 2017 at band F and is valid until March 2027. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.

- 76 Preston New Road is in council tax band E. 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.
