About 4 Billinge Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Billinge Avenue is a seven-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB2 6SD). It has a recorded floor area of 460 m² (around 4951 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an F (score 23), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 4 certificates since May 2012. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 4 Billinge Avenue is modelled from its 460 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB2 6SD. 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 Billinge Avenue. 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 Billinge Avenue was lodged in October 2013 at band F and expired in October 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 4 Billinge Avenue. 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.

- Council tax band
- 4 Billinge Avenue is in council tax band F. 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.
