How the estimate is made

About 8 Fernhurst Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Fernhurst Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackpool (FY4 3AY). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1010 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2011) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2011. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The latest certificate is from November 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £149,000 sits 238.6% above the 1999 sale of £44,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£44/sq ft) was about 49.8% below the postcode norm.

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 8 Fernhurst Avenue is modelled from its 94 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale 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. 1 sale is recorded for 8 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 8 Fernhurst Avenue was lodged in November 2011 at band D and expired in November 2021, 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 8 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
- 8 Fernhurst Avenue 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.
