10 Brighton Avenue, Blackpool, FY4 1HL

10 Brighton Avenue is a six-bedroom mid-terrace house in Blackpool (FY4 1HL). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1722 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (October 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in April 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.6% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£70/sq ft) was about 16.9% below the postcode norm.
