Overview

About Flat 1

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

Flat 1 is a semi-detached house in Blackpool (FY4 1LW). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 96 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (96–96 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (23 versus a best of 64). The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an F (score 23), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (February 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 46). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 96 m² it's 28.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (75 m² median across 46 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs).
