17 Light Buildings, Lumen Court, Preston, PR1 2RA
About 17 Light Buildings
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 52nd smallest of 64 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 47–87 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 64 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.
Today's modelled estimate of £105,000 is 16.7% below the 2009 sale of £126,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£175/sq ft) was about 15.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 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.
