About 23 The Room Apartments
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
23 The Room Apartments is a mid-terrace house in Preston (PR1 2QF). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 67 m² this is the 65th smallest of 78 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–70 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 78 units on file. The latest certificate (July 2019) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on electricity.
Today's modelled estimate of £107,000 is 18.7% below the 2008 sale of £131,684, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works.
