How the estimate is made
The estimate for 52a is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 2AS. 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 52a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
52a is a mid-terrace house in Blackpool (FY4 2AS). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 42 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (42–198 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (April 2024) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since September 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £100,000 sits 100% above the 2008 sale of £50,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£111/sq ft) was about 44.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (66 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 52a is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 2AS. 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 52a. 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 52a was lodged in April 2024 at band E and is valid until April 2034. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 52a. 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from FY4 2AS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 52a 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.
