How the estimate is made
The estimate for 24 Highgate is modelled from its 127 m² EPC floor area, its 3 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.

About 24 Highgate
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
24 Highgate is a semi-detached house in Blackpool (FY4 2QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 127 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 2008–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £157,000 is 21.7% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£94/sq ft) was about 16.1% below the postcode norm. Last sale on file: £129,000 in May 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 24 Highgate is modelled from its 127 m² EPC floor area, its 3 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. 3 sales are recorded for 24 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 24 Highgate was lodged in May 2015 at band E and expired in May 2025, 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 24 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
- 24 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.
