Overview

About Southworth House

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

Southworth House is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB2 7AL). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. At 62 m² this is the 28th smallest of 33 units on EPC record in Southworth House, where floor areas span 31–74 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (November 2021) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81).

Today's modelled estimate of £133,000 is 22.2% below the 2009 sale of £171,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

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 Southworth House is modelled from its 62 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 Southworth 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 Southworth House was lodged in November 2021 at band C and is valid until November 2031. 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 Southworth 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.
