Overview

About 34 St James Road

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

34 St James Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Blackpool (FY4 2DU). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (August 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 34 St James Road is modelled from its 116 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 2DU. 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 34 St James Road. 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 34 St James Road was lodged in September 2014 at band E and expired in September 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 34 St James Road. 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 2DU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
34 St James Road is in council tax band C. 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.
