About 16 Kidbrooke Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Kidbrooke Avenue is a three-bedroom detached house in Blackpool (FY4 1QR). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2023) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £215,000 is 14.7% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£194/sq ft) was about 21.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
