About 188 New Hall Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
188 New Hall Lane is a mid-terrace house in Preston (PR1 4DX). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 394 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 37 m² this is the 5th smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 31–148 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 19 units on file.
It hasn't traded since September 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £131,000 sits 571.8% above the 1998 sale of £19,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£49/sq ft) was about 27.2% below the postcode norm. 7 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 37 m² it's 24.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (49 m² median across 18 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs).

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 188 New Hall Lane is modelled from its 37 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR1 4DX. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 188 New Hall Lane. 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 188 New Hall Lane was lodged in February 2010 at band E and expired in February 2020, 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. 7 applications are matched to 188 New Hall Lane. 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 4DX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
