How the estimate is made
The estimate for 118 Central Drive is modelled from its 208 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in FY1 5DY. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

About 118 Central Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
118 Central Drive is a mid-terrace house in Blackpool (FY1 5DY). It has a recorded floor area of 208 m² (around 2243 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2010) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 55), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 208 m² this is the 14th smallest of 15 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 19–263 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 15 units on file.
At 208 m² the property is well over the postcode median (46 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £142,000 sits 184% above the 2017 sale of £50,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£22/sq ft) was about 85.7% below the postcode norm. 9 years since the last transfer (July 2017). One planning record on file: subdivision refused in 2017.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 118 Central Drive is modelled from its 208 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in FY1 5DY. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 118 Central Drive. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 118 Central Drive was lodged in June 2010 at band F and expired in June 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 118 Central Drive. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from FY1 5DY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 118 Central Drive is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
