About 6 Handsworth Road
6 Handsworth Road is a semi-detached house in Blackpool (FY1 2RQ). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 20 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £118,000 is 29.7% above the 2007 sale price.
