Overview

About 17 Alexandra Street

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

17 Alexandra Street is a mid-terrace house in Preston (PR1 4BL). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2023) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in April 2022 the rating was G, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87).

At 91 m² the property is well over the postcode median (64 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 89% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £121,000 sits 61.3% above the 2022 sale of £75,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£77/sq ft) was about 23.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sale on file: £75,000 in August 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
