About 42 Alexandra Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
42 Alexandra Road is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackpool (FY1 6BU). It has a recorded floor area of 34 m² (around 366 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (September 2018) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it B (January 2010); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. At 34 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 36 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–478 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 36 units on file.
It hasn't traded since March 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. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -10.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £113,000 is 18.9% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£260/sq ft) was about 331.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 34 m² it's 26.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (46 m² median across 35 EPCs).

- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 42 Alexandra Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
