About 187 Preston New Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
187 Preston New Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB2 6BN). It has a recorded floor area of 196 m² (around 2110 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
