137 Lytham Road, Blackpool, FY1 6DL

137 Lytham Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Blackpool (FY1 6DL). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2024) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). At 94 m² this is the 8th smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 27–125 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 9 units on file.

It hasn't traded since October 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. At 94 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £101,000 sits 236.7% above the 2009 sale of £30,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£30/sq ft) was about 65.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
