16 Eaton Avenue, Blackpool, FY1 6LG

16 Eaton Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackpool (FY1 6LG). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (94 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
