About 8 Gainsborough Road

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

8 Gainsborough Road is an end-of-terrace house in Blackpool (FY1 4DZ). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 4-band jump.
