Overview

About 5 Bennett Avenue

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

5 Bennett Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackpool (FY1 4DP). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2022) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in September 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Other recorded features include outbuildings.

It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£143/sq ft) was about 70.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 107 m² it's 19.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (133 m² median across 11 EPCs).
