BB1 9 is one sector of BB1 (Blackburn): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

What BB1 9 homes really sell for

The 2026 median for BB1 9 is £215,000, taken from 53 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £238,400, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.

House prices per square metre in BB1 9

The last five years of sales put BB1 9 at roughly £2,180 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.

England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving BB1 9 25% below the national figure.

In cash terms the typical BB1 9 home went from £44,500 in 1995 to £215,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 122%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 15% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2005 (+41.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−15.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

The long view: annualised growth

Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.

The turnover behind the prices

BB1 9 recorded 53 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 225 sales a year before the financial crisis and 133 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.

What homes rent for around BB1 9

BB1 9 falls under Ribble Valley, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £810 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £602 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,386, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

Against the £215,000 median purchase price, a rent of £810 a month (£9,720 a year) works out at a 4.5% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

How BB1 9 trades

Only 53 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BB1 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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 9 sits 34% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
