7 Grimshaw Place, Preston, PR1 3BW

7 Grimshaw Place is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Preston (PR1 3BW). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2019) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). Main heating runs on electricity. At 65 m² this is the 33rd 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.

Today's modelled estimate of £99,000 is 28% below the 2007 sale of £137,500, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£197/sq ft) was about 16.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since May 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
