About 23 Dukes Brow
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
23 Dukes Brow is a semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB2 6EX). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a G (score 8), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2010); the latest reading is 4 bands lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 65), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 21 years, with the last transfer in October 2005. At 126 m² it sits well below the postcode median (186 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £239,000 is 32.8% above the 2005 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£133/sq ft) was about 49.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 23 Dukes Brow is modelled from its 126 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB2 6EX. 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 23 Dukes Brow. 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 23 Dukes Brow was lodged in July 2016 at band G and expired in July 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 23 Dukes Brow. 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 39 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB2 6EX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 23 Dukes Brow is in council tax band C. 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.
