Overview

About 2 Kensington Avenue

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

2 Kensington Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Penwortham, Preston, Preston (PR1 0BA). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2018) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).

Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £274,000 sits 73.4% above the 2009 sale of £158,000.
