How the estimate is made
The estimate for 26a is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 1BY. 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 26a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
26a is a detached house in Blackpool (FY4 1BY). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 77 m² this is the 4th smallest of 7 units on EPC record in 26a, where floor areas span 18–106 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (52 versus a best of 59). The latest certificate (June 2022) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in February 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 77 m² the property is well over the postcode median (31 m² across 44 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.4% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£180/sq ft) was about 56% 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 26a is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 1BY. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 26a. 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 26a was lodged in June 2022 at band E and is valid until June 2032. 8 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 26a. 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 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from FY4 1BY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 26a 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.
