How the estimate is made

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 18 Highgate
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Highgate is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackpool (FY4 2QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 993 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £153,000 is 15.5% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£133/sq ft) was about 24.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 18 Highgate is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 2QJ. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 18 Highgate. 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 18 Highgate was lodged in August 2009 at band E and expired in August 2019, 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 18 Highgate. 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 2QJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 18 Highgate is in council tax band B. 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.
