Overview

About Blackmore Court

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

At 49 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 17 units on EPC record in Blackmore Court, where floor areas span 48–72 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom.

Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2006–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £168,000 sits 88.2% above the 2016 sale of £89,250.

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 Blackmore Court is modelled from its 49 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 4GJ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Blackmore Court. 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 Blackmore Court was lodged in January 2011 at band D and expired in January 2021, 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 Blackmore Court. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 4GJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Blackmore Court is in council tax band B. 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.
