How the estimate is made
The estimate for 18 Dorset Street is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 3BB. 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 Dorset Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Dorset Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Blackpool (FY4 3BB). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since November 2013. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Across 2017–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £106,000 sits 89.3% above the 2018 sale of £56,000.

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 Dorset Street is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 3BB. 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 18 Dorset Street. 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 Dorset Street was lodged in January 2014 at band E and expired in January 2024, 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 18 Dorset Street. 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 3BB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 18 Dorset Street 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.
