How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Brook Street is modelled from its 137 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 4BE. 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 8 Brook Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Brook Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Blackpool (FY4 4BE). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2017) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump.
At 137 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 38 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £116,000 sits 132% above the 2016 sale of £50,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£34/sq ft) was about 56% below the postcode norm. Last sold in February 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

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 Brook Street is modelled from its 137 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 4BE. 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 8 Brook 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 8 Brook Street was lodged in January 2017 at band E and is valid until January 2027. 3 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 Brook 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 4BE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Brook 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.
