Overview

About 5 Briarwood Drive

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

5 Briarwood Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bispham, Blackpool, Blackpool (FY2 0DS). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2024) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in January 2016 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump.

Held since August 2007 — that's 19 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 75 m² it's 15.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (65 m² median across 28 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £126,000 is 18.9% above the 2007 sale price.
