How the estimate is made
The estimate for 101a is modelled from its 119 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in FY1 5EE. 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 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 £138,000 sits 56.8% above the 2007 sale of £88,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£69/sq ft) was about 54.7% below the postcode norm.

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 101a is modelled from its 119 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in FY1 5EE. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 101a. 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 101a was lodged in July 2025 at band C and is valid until July 2035. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 101a. 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 5EE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
