28 Cubic, Birley Street, Preston, PR1 2AQ

28 Cubic is a one-bedroom detached house in Preston (PR1 2AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2012 onwards and council tax band A. At 78 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (38–78 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 46 units on file. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

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 78 m² the property is well over the postcode median (55 m² across 45 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£153/sq ft) was about 15.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
