How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 3 is modelled from its 29 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 1LW. 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.

About Flat 3
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 3 is a detached house in Blackpool (FY4 1LW). It has a recorded floor area of 29 m² (around 312 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 29 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (29–124 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (February 2022) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on electricity.
Today's modelled estimate of £123,000 is 52.7% below the 2023 sale of £260,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£833/sq ft) was about 915.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 29 m² it sits well below the postcode median (85 m² across 47 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 74% of similar EPCs). Last sale on file: £260,000 in March 2023.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Flat 3 is modelled from its 29 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 1LW. 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 Flat 3. 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 Flat 3 was lodged in February 2022 at band C and is valid until February 2032. 3 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 Flat 3. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from FY4 1LW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 3 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.
