How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Armadale Road is modelled from its 135 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in FY2 0SW. 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 8 Armadale Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Armadale Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackpool (FY2 0SW). It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2011) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from September 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 135 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2011–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £203,000 is 47.1% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£95/sq ft) was about 22.5% below the postcode norm. Sold April 2021 for £138,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 8 Armadale Road is modelled from its 135 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in FY2 0SW. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 8 Armadale Road. 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 8 Armadale Road was lodged in September 2011 at band D and expired in September 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8 Armadale Road. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from FY2 0SW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Armadale Road is in council tax band C. 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.
