About 78 Cop Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
78 Cop Lane is a semi-detached house in Penwortham, Preston, Preston (PR1 0UR). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1464 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since May 2015. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 136 m² the property is well over the postcode median (98 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £385,000 sits 301% above the 1997 sale of £96,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£66/sq ft) was about 63.6% below the postcode norm.

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 78 Cop Lane is modelled from its 136 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR1 0UR. 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 78 Cop Lane. 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 78 Cop Lane was lodged in August 2015 at band D and expired in August 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 78 Cop Lane. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR1 0UR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 78 Cop Lane 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.
