About 17 General Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 General Street is an end-of-terrace house in Blackpool (FY1 1RW). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. At 47 m² this is the 19th smallest of 26 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–205 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (January 2019) shows a C (score 72).
Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 30% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £172,000 is 15.7% below the 2008 sale of £204,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2007. Past consents include subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 47 m² it's 17.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (40 m² median across 25 EPCs).

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 17 General Street. 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 17 General Street was lodged in January 2019 at band C and is valid until January 2029. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
