25 Belverdale Gardens, Blackpool, FY4 5NA

25 Belverdale Gardens is a four-bedroom detached house in Blackpool (FY4 5NA). It has a recorded floor area of 149 m² (around 1604 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since November 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. At 149 m² the property is well over the postcode median (95 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £302,000 is 20.8% above the 2007 sale price.
