About 127 Preston New Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
127 Preston New Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB2 6BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 284 m² (around 3057 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in February 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe and a basement.
It hasn't traded since July 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 284 m² the property is well over the postcode median (52 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £240,000 is 30.4% above the 2010 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£60/sq ft) was about 27.5% below the postcode norm.

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 127 Preston New Road is modelled from its 284 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB2 6BJ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 127 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 127 Preston New Road was lodged in June 2016 at band D and expired in June 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.

- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 127 Preston New 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.

- Council tax band
- 127 Preston New Road is in council tax band B. 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.
