How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Highgate is modelled from its 156 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR1 0HY. 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.

About 1 Highgate
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Highgate is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Penwortham, Preston, Preston (PR1 0HY). It has a recorded floor area of 156 m² (around 1678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2010) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from January 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
At 156 m² the property is well over the postcode median (107 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 10 years since the last transfer (April 2016). Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2000–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £484,000 is 36.3% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£212/sq ft) was about 16% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 Highgate is modelled from its 156 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR1 0HY. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 1 Highgate. 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 1 Highgate was lodged in January 2010 at band D and expired in January 2020, 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 1 Highgate. 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 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR1 0HY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Highgate 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.
