Flat 1, 9 Bright Street, Blackpool, FY4 1BS

Flat 1 is a mid-terrace house in Blackpool (FY4 1BS). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 43 m² this is the 6th smallest of 7 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 24–150 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in September 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in October 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 43 m² the property is well over the postcode median (29 m² across 50 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £112,000 is 24.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£194/sq ft) was about 234% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
