How the estimate is made
The estimate for 59a is modelled from its 47 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 1AD. 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 59a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
59a is an end-of-terrace house in Blackpool (FY4 1AD). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 47 m² this is the 4th smallest of 14 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–240 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 14 units on file.
Across 1997–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £169,000 is 62.4% below the 2022 sale of £450,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£889/sq ft) was about 786.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 47 m² it sits well below the postcode median (111 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sale on file: £450,000 in October 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 59a is modelled from its 47 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 1AD. 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 59a. 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 59a was lodged in July 2016 at band E and expired in July 2026, 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 59a. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from FY4 1AD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
