Overview

About 5 Barker Lane

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

5 Barker Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Mellor, Blackburn, Blackburn (BB2 7ED). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows a D (score 61), 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 April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £250,000 sits 212.5% above the 2000 sale of £80,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£75/sq ft) was about 55.7% below the postcode norm. At 99 m² it's 20.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (125 m² median across 30 EPCs).
