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.

Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
