About 9 Brighton Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
9 Brighton Avenue is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Blackpool (FY4 1HL). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 48 m² this is the 10th smallest of 27 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 22–160 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (December 2024) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was G, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Average to Very Good. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since March 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £111,000 sits 217.1% above the 1996 sale of £35,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£68/sq ft) was about 17.4% below the postcode norm. At 48 m² it's 20% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (60 m² median across 26 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 81% of similar EPCs).

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 9 Brighton Avenue is modelled from its 48 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 1HL. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 9 Brighton Avenue. 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 9 Brighton Avenue was lodged in December 2024 at band C and is valid until December 2034. 4 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 9 Brighton Avenue. 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from FY4 1HL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 9 Brighton Avenue 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.
