Overview

About Woodcock House

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

Woodcock House is a two-bedroom detached house in Blackburn (BB2 7AL). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft) and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2013) returns a high B (score 86), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 72 m² this is the 12th smallest of 16 units on EPC record in Woodcock House, where floor areas span 66–89 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (86 versus a worst of 79). The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

Across 2015–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at -3.6% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£215/sq ft) was about 19.4% below the postcode norm. Last sale on file: £167,000 in July 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 Woodcock House is modelled from its 72 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales 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. 2 sales are recorded for Woodcock 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 Woodcock House was lodged in March 2013 at band B and expired in March 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 Woodcock 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
Woodcock House is in council tax band C. 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.
