Overview

About 18 Grimshaw Street

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

18 Grimshaw Street is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Preston (PR1 3DD). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. At 41 m² this is the 16th smallest of 29 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 18–63 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 29 units on file. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 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. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £143,000 sits 53.8% above the 2007 sale of £93,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£211/sq ft) was about 61.7% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include subdivision and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 18 Grimshaw Street is modelled from its 41 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR1 3DD. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 18 Grimshaw Street. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 18 Grimshaw Street was lodged in November 2015 at band D and expired in November 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 18 Grimshaw Street. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 38 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR1 3DD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
18 Grimshaw Street is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
