Overview

About 4 Foster Croft

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

4 Foster Croft is a semi-detached house in Penwortham, Preston, Preston (PR1 0AN). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 836 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £215,000 is 30.3% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£197/sq ft) was about 29.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
