How the estimate is made
The estimate for 15 First Avenue is modelled from its 51 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 2EY. 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 15 First Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 First Avenue is a detached house in Blackpool (FY4 2EY). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in April 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1999–2001, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £315,000 sits 87.5% above the 2001 sale of £168,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£306/sq ft) was about 219.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (138 m² across 8 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 15 First Avenue is modelled from its 51 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 2EY. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 15 First Avenue. 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 15 First Avenue was lodged in June 2014 at band E and expired in June 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 15 First Avenue. 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from FY4 2EY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 15 First Avenue is in council tax band F. 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.
