Bank Hey market report BB1 1, Blackburn

The BB1 1 (Bank Hey) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. The raw material for this page is 2,675 HM Land Registry entries for BB1 1 (Blackburn), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.

Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.

In short: 23 registered 2026 sales put the BB1 1 (Blackburn) median at £132,500, up 31% on five years earlier, with a mean of £144,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £1,400 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 2,675 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.

A postcode sector like BB1 1 is a single group of streets within BB1 (Blackburn), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

What buyers actually paid in BB1 1

In the BB1 1 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £132,500, from 23 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £144,200, sitting modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.

What a square metre costs in BB1 1

Per square metre, BB1 1 homes have averaged around £1,400 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.

Set against the £285,000 England and Wales median, BB1 1 sits 54% below the national market.

In cash terms the typical BB1 1 home went from £26,200 in 1995 to £132,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 133%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2008. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+57.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−21.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Annualised returns

Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.

Sales activity in BB1 1

The register shows 23 BB1 1 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 134 sales a year before the financial crisis and 40 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.

Rents around BB1 1

The local authority for BB1 1 is Blackburn with Darwen, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £711 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £532 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,111, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

Set against the £132,500 median sold price, £711 a month is £8,532 a year, a gross yield of 6.4%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

How BB1 1 trades

This is a thin market: 23 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the BB1 district median, BB1 1 sits 17% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
