Overview

About Flat 5

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Flat 5 is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackpool (FY4 1EN). It has a recorded floor area of 28 m² (around 301 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (September 2022) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2017 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Average to Good. Main heating runs on electricity. At 28 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 23–42 m².

Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £247,000 is 11.9% below the 2007 sale of £280,500, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£931/sq ft) was about 1009.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in August 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 28 m² it sits well below the postcode median (93 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

Valuation method in detail

How the estimate is made: The estimate for Flat 5 is modelled from its 28 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 1EN. 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 Flat 5. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Planning records: Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Flat 5. 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 1EN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
