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 £152,000 is 11.1% 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.
