Overview

About 26 Dorchester Road

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

26 Dorchester Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackpool (FY1 2LU). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1998–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £156,000 is 48.6% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£102/sq ft) was about 23.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. At 96 m² it's 21.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (122 m² median across 34 EPCs).
