How the estimate is made

The estimate for First Floor Flat is modelled from its 123 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a 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.

Overview

About First Floor Flat

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

First Floor Flat is a mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB2 6BH). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (March 2010); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 123 m² the property is well over the postcode median (36 m² across 67 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement.

How to read this page

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 First Floor Flat is modelled from its 123 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a 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. No sale is recorded for First Floor Flat, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 First Floor Flat was lodged in January 2016 at band G and expired in January 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 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 First Floor Flat. 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.
