Overview

About 23 Kensington Avenue

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

23 Kensington Avenue is a semi-detached house in Penwortham, Preston, Preston (PR1 0BA). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since January 2002, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £257,000 sits 242.7% above the 2002 sale of £75,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£61/sq ft) was about 62.8% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).

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 23 Kensington Avenue is modelled from its 114 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR1 0BA. 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 23 Kensington 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 23 Kensington Avenue was lodged in June 2013 at band E and expired in June 2023, 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. None is matched to 23 Kensington 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR1 0BA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
23 Kensington Avenue is in council tax band C. 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.
