Balderstone Grange is a detached house in Balderstone, Blackburn, Blackburn (BB2 7LW). It has a recorded floor area of 920 m² (around 9903 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band H.

When first surveyed in January 2014 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since.

The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). Main heating runs on bulk wood pellets. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 Balderstone Grange is modelled from its 920 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB2 7LW. 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. No sale is recorded for Balderstone Grange, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 Balderstone Grange was lodged in July 2014 at band E and expired in July 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Balderstone Grange. 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 7LW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Balderstone Grange is in council tax band H. 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.
