Overview

About 2 Grimshaw Place

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

2 Grimshaw Place is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Preston (PR1 3BW). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in May 2010 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. Main heating runs on electricity. At 55 m² this is the 6th smallest of 43 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 26–75 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 43 units on file. The home occupies a corner plot.

Today's modelled estimate of £112,000 is 12.2% below the 2007 sale of £127,500, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£215/sq ft) was about 27.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in April 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
