Overview

About 24 Dorchester Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

24 Dorchester Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackpool (FY1 2LU). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1049 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2009) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
