About 3 St Bedes Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 St Bedes Avenue is a semi-detached house in Blackpool (FY4 1AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A.

The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in March 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £125,000 sits 237.8% above the 1998 sale of £37,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£84/sq ft) was about 95.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 3 St Bedes Avenue is modelled from its 41 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 1AQ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 3 St Bedes Avenue. 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 3 St Bedes Avenue was lodged in February 2024 at band E and is valid until February 2034. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 3 St Bedes Avenue. 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 1AQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 St Bedes Avenue is in council tax band A. 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.
