How the estimate is made
The estimate for 31 Acre Gate is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 3LE. 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 31 Acre Gate
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
31 Acre Gate is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Blackpool (FY4 3LE). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (February 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
A recent sale: £142,000 in September 2025. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2025, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.6% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£145/sq ft) was about 30.2% 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 31 Acre Gate is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 3LE. 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 31 Acre Gate. 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 31 Acre Gate was lodged in November 2015 at band E and expired in November 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 31 Acre Gate. 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 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from FY4 3LE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 31 Acre Gate 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.
