17 New Bank Road, Blackburn, BB2 6JW

17 New Bank Road is an end-of-terrace house in Blackburn (BB2 6JW). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 66), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since September 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 140 m² the property is well over the postcode median (85 m² across 29 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. Today's modelled estimate of £133,000 sits 411.5% above the 1995 sale of £26,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£17/sq ft) was about 74.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
