About Langdale
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Langdale is a three-bedroom detached house in Balderstone, Blackburn, Blackburn (BB2 7LR). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (August 2024) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
It hasn't traded since June 1995, a hold of 31 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 £517,000 sits 228.3% above the 1995 sale of £157,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£157/sq ft) was about 31.6% below the postcode norm. At 93 m² it sits well below the postcode median (134 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Langdale is modelled from its 93 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB2 7LR. 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 Langdale. 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 Langdale was lodged in August 2024 at band D and is valid until August 2034. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Langdale. 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 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB2 7LR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Langdale is in council tax band F. 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.
