How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Fernhurst Avenue is modelled from its 40 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 3AY. 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 1 Fernhurst Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Fernhurst Avenue is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackpool (FY4 3AY). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 40 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (40–123 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 4 certificates since August 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Held since June 2002 — that's 24 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1999–2002, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £116,000 sits 134.3% above the 2002 sale of £49,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£115/sq ft) was about 41.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.

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 1 Fernhurst Avenue is modelled from its 40 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 3AY. 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 1 Fernhurst 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 1 Fernhurst Avenue was lodged in July 2026 at band E and is valid until July 2036. 4 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 1 Fernhurst 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from FY4 3AY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Fernhurst Avenue is in council tax band A. 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.
