How Richmond Terrace, Darwen prices moved
The chart tracks the median Richmond Terrace, Darwen house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2001 to 2022. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 6 | £43,750 | £79,700 |
| 2020s | 2 | £100,000 | £102,174 |
The highest yearly median on record for Richmond Terrace, Darwen is £102,500 in 2021; the lowest is £30,050 in 2001. Across the full 22-year record the cash median has moved from £30,050 to £100,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £58,930, so the real change over the whole record is +96.6% — about +3.27% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +25.0% in cash against -13.7% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Richmond Terrace, Darwen values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Richmond Terrace, Darwen is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 97 | 95.1% | £59,950 | £13,000 – £157,500 |
| Semi-detached | 3 | 2.9% | £100,000 | £79,000 – £122,500 |
| Detached | 2 | 2.0% | £48,000 | £48,000 – £63,750 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Richmond Terrace, Darwen
43 of the sales on record are leasehold and 59 freehold — 42.2% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
The median leasehold sale is £73,000 and the median freehold sale £55,000 — a gap of -24.7%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 43 | 42.2% | £73,000 |
| Freehold | 59 | 57.8% | £55,000 |
A further 13 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of BB3, 218 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 95 violent, 4 burglary, 25 vehicle-related and 28 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.3 times busier.
Against the 154,738 residents the 2021 census counted in Blackburn with Darwen, that is 1.41 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

Richmond Terrace, Darwen sits in Blackburn with Darwen, in the North West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Blackburn with Darwen at 4.7 times median local earnings of £36,223 a year, measured to Sep 2025.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Richmond Terrace, Darwen?
The median price paid in Richmond Terrace, Darwen across every sale on the register is £63,000. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Richmond Terrace, Darwen?
102 sales are on record for Richmond Terrace, Darwen, the most recent completing on 24 Oct 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Richmond Terrace, Darwen house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +25.0% between 2008 and 2022. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -13.7%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Richmond Terrace, Darwen house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £102,500, set in 2021. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Richmond Terrace, Darwen?
£685 per square metre, from the 25 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 24 Oct 2025. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
