Overview

About 5 Grimshaw Place

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

5 Grimshaw Place is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Preston (PR1 3BW). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2020) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in October 2008 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 and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. At 70 m² this is the 40th 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.

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.
