5 Wolverton Avenue, Bispham, Blackpool, FY2 9NT

5 Wolverton Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Bispham, Blackpool, Blackpool (FY2 9NT). It has a recorded floor area of 186 m² (around 2002 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 186 m² the property is well over the postcode median (57 m² across 31 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £210,000 is 12.9% above the 2009 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2004.
