About 1 Meadow Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Meadow Street is an end-of-terrace house in Preston (PR1 1TR). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 49 m² this is the 5th smallest of 15 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 27–71 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (40 versus a best of 83). The latest certificate (April 2021) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 4 certificates since April 2018. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). Main heating runs on electricity.
Across 1996–2023, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £116,000 is 17.1% below the 2023 sale of £140,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Sold June 2023 for £140,000.
