About 17 Light Buildings
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Light Buildings is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Preston (PR1 2RA). 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 51st smallest of 63 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 47–87 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 63 units on file. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
