Held since April 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Sale prices here have outpaced Blackpool HPI: 16.1% per year against 0% for the wider region. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£196/sq ft) was about 223.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (93 m² across 46 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2003.
