Overview

About 23 Church Avenue

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

23 Church Avenue is an end-of-terrace house in Preston (PR1 4UD). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 814 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (October 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 39). The latest certificate is from July 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £107,000 sits 52.9% above the 2021 sale of £70,000. Most recent transfer: December 2021 at £70,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
