How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 Acton Road is modelled from its 99 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 4EE. 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 2 Acton Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Acton Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Blackpool (FY4 4EE). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since January 2003 — that's 24 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £181,000 sits 148.1% above the 2003 sale of £72,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£68/sq ft) was about 32.4% below the postcode norm. At 99 m² it's 27.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 10 EPCs).

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 2 Acton Road is modelled from its 99 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in FY4 4EE. 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 2 Acton Road. 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 2 Acton Road was lodged in September 2015 at band D and expired in September 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 2 Acton Road. 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 4EE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Acton Road is in council tax band D. 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.
