Overview

About 4 Gorse Road

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

4 Gorse Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB2 6LY). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1404 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2009) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 55), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 130 m² it sits well below the postcode median (203 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £220,000 is 41.9% above the 2010 sale price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Gorse Road is modelled from its 130 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB2 6LY. 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 4 Gorse 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 4 Gorse Road was lodged in December 2009 at band F and expired in December 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 4 Gorse 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. The 40 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB2 6LY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Gorse Road is in council tax band D. 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.
