28 Cubic, Birley Street, Preston, PR1 2AQ
About 28 Cubic
28 Cubic is a one-bedroom detached house in Preston (PR1 2AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 543 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 50 m² this is the 21st 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. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £110,000 is 14.2% below the 2008 sale of £128,250, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£236/sq ft) was about 79.2% 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.
