Overview

About 4 Grimshaw Place

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

4 Grimshaw Place is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Preston (PR1 3BW). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 56 m² this is the 8th 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, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (56 versus a best of 84). Other recorded features include a basement. The latest certificate (July 2019) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
