3 Columbia Way, Blackburn, BB2 7DT

3 Columbia Way is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB2 7DT). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in October 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £206,000 is 31.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£208/sq ft) was about 39% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
