About Rockfield
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Rockfield is a semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB2 6PS). It has a recorded floor area of 163 m² (around 1755 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Rockfield is modelled from its 163 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB2 6PS. 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 Rockfield. 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 Rockfield was lodged in July 2014 at band E and expired in July 2024, 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. 6 applications are matched to Rockfield. 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 6PS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Rockfield 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.
