Overview

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 high B (score 86), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. 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 £159,000 is 26% below the 2015 sale of £214,775, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. At 76 m² it's 15.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (66 m² median across 65 EPCs). Last sold in June 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

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 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.
