20 Derby Road, Blackpool, FY1 2JF

20 Derby Road is a mid-terrace house in Blackpool (FY1 2JF). It has a recorded floor area of 284 m² (around 3057 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (May 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 284 m² the property is well over the postcode median (30 m² across 35 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Sold November 2022 for £123,000. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2024. Past consents include an extension and an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1999–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5% per year.
