How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1a is modelled from its 138 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 1a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1a is an end-of-terrace house in Blackpool (FY4 2EY). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1487 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2011) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from August 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1995–2000, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £186,000 sits 151.4% above the 2000 sale of £74,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£50/sq ft) was about 50.7% below the postcode norm. At 138 m² it's 29.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (107 m² median across 8 EPCs).

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 1a is modelled from its 138 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 1a. 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 1a was lodged in August 2011 at band D and expired in August 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 1a. 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
- 1a 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.
