Overview

About 23 Balham Avenue

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

23 Balham Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackpool (FY4 3QP). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2018) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2016. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80).

Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £169,000 is 15% above the 2007 sale price.
