How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 2a is modelled from its 35 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in FY1 1RJ. 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.

About Flat 2a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 2a is a mid-terrace house in Blackpool (FY1 1RJ). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a G (score 19), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it F (July 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 66), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 35 m² this is the 14th smallest of 24 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 15–1025 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to D, with this unit at the bottom.
At 35 m² it's 16.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (30 m² median across 23 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs).

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Flat 2a is modelled from its 35 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in FY1 1RJ. 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 Flat 2a, 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 Flat 2a was lodged in November 2013 at band G and expired in November 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Flat 2a. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from FY1 1RJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 2a is in council tax band A. 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.
