About 54 Kensington Avenue

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

54 Kensington Avenue is a semi-detached house in Penwortham, Preston, Preston (PR1 0EE). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
