Overview

About 1a

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

1a is a semi-detached house in Blackpool (FY1 6EB). It has a recorded floor area of 33 m² (around 356 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 33 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 24 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 33–243 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 24 units on file. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £125,000 is 40.5% below the 2017 sale of £210,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£590/sq ft) was about 716.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 33 m² it sits well below the postcode median (78 m² across 23 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). On the market in February 2017 and unlisted since — roughly 9 years.
