About Greyfriars Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Greyfriars Court is a semi-detached house in Penwortham, Preston, Preston (PR1 0UR). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. At 58 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Greyfriars Court (58–104 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (March 2019) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (December 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good.
Today's modelled estimate of £142,000 is 13.9% below the 2008 sale of £165,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£264/sq ft) was about 51.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since July 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 58 m² it sits well below the postcode median (107 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.
