How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8a is modelled from its 60 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in FY1 6JU. 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 8a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Blackpool (FY1 6JU). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows an F (score 22), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2014); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 62), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 60 m² this is the 16th smallest of 17 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 27–69 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (22 versus a best of 71).
It hasn't traded since July 2005, a hold of 21 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 8a is modelled from its 60 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in FY1 6JU. 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 8a. 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 8a was lodged in March 2025 at band F and is valid until March 2035. 2 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 8a. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from FY1 6JU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8a is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
