About Arrowsmith House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Arrowsmith House is a detached house in Blackburn (BB2 7AL). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft) and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2013) returns a B (score 84), comfortably above the UK average. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 76 m² this is the 12th smallest of 15 units on EPC record in Arrowsmith House, where floor areas span 60–93 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top.
Today's modelled estimate of £122,000 is 32.2% below the 2020 sale of £180,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£220/sq ft) was about 17.8% below the postcode norm. At 76 m² it's 15.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (66 m² median across 65 EPCs).

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 Arrowsmith House is modelled from its 76 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB2 7AL. 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 Arrowsmith House. 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 Arrowsmith House was lodged in April 2013 at band B and expired in April 2023, 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. None is matched to Arrowsmith House. 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB2 7AL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Arrowsmith House is in council tax band B. 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.
