How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Alston Road is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in FY2 0TD. 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 Alston Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Alston Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Blackpool (FY2 0TD). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £146,000 is 15.4% above the 2011 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£149/sq ft) was about 15.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in November 2011 and unlisted since — roughly 15 years.

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 Alston Road is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in FY2 0TD. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 8 Alston 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 Alston Road was lodged in November 2010 at band E and expired in November 2020, 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 Alston 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from FY2 0TD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Alston Road is in council tax band B. 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.
