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.

Sale prices here have outpaced Blackpool HPI: 14.3% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £245,000 is 12.7% 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.
