26 Light Buildings, Lumen Court, Preston, PR1 2RA
About 26 Light Buildings
26 Light Buildings is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Preston (PR1 2RA). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band A. At 53 m² this is the 8th 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, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (August 2018) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £110,000 is 37.5% above the 2009 sale price.
