About 101a

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

101a is a mid-terrace house in Blackpool (FY1 5EE). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. At 119 m² this is the 34th smallest of 37 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 31–140 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (July 2025) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since.

Held since September 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 119 m² the property is well over the postcode median (51 m² across 36 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 89% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 19.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £129,000 is 46.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£69/sq ft) was about 47.6% below the postcode norm.
