About 8 Bennett Avenue
8 Bennett Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackpool (FY1 4DP). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (May 2022) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since April 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. At 105 m² it's 21.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (133 m² median across 11 EPCs). Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £127,000 is 33.7% above the 2009 sale price.
