Overview

About 55 Kingsway

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

55 Kingsway is a three-bedroom detached house in Penwortham, Preston, Preston (PR1 0ED). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1213 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an F (score 24), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 65), a 2-band jump.

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 55 Kingsway is modelled from its 113 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR1 0ED. 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 55 Kingsway. 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 55 Kingsway was lodged in February 2009 at band F and expired in February 2019, 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 55 Kingsway. 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 0ED, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
55 Kingsway is in council tax band E. 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.
