Overview

About 16 Shaftesbury Avenue

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

16 Shaftesbury Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Penwortham, Preston, Preston (PR1 0AY). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 94), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 114 m² the property is well over the postcode median (85 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2025. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1997–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £299,000 is 30% above the 2022 sale price. Most recent transfer: July 2022 at £230,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 16 Shaftesbury Avenue is modelled from its 114 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR1 0AY. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 16 Shaftesbury 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 16 Shaftesbury Avenue was lodged in August 2015 at band E and expired in August 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 16 Shaftesbury 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 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR1 0AY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
16 Shaftesbury Avenue 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.
