Overview

About 19 Cubic

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

19 Cubic is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Preston (PR1 2AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2022) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (April 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on electricity. At 55 m² this is the 24th smallest of 46 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 38–75 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 46 units on file.

Today's modelled estimate of £112,000 is 21.7% below the 2008 sale of £143,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£242/sq ft) was about 83.1% 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.
