Overview

About 1 Church Avenue

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

1 Church Avenue is a five-bedroom detached house in Penwortham, Preston, Preston (PR1 0AH). It has a recorded floor area of 323 m² (around 3477 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since February 2015. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 323 m² the property is well over the postcode median (219 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £787,000 sits 54.3% above the 2016 sale of £510,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£147/sq ft) was about 33.2% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in February 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Church Avenue is modelled from its 323 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR1 0AH. 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 1 Church Avenue. 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 1 Church Avenue was lodged in June 2016 at band F and expired in June 2026, 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. 4 applications are matched to 1 Church Avenue. 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 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR1 0AH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Church Avenue is in council tax band G. 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.
