About 17 Avon House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Avon House is an end-of-terrace house in Preston (PR1 4YH). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 70 m² this is the 15th smallest of 18 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–70 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 18 units on file. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. Main heating runs on biomass. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 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 £109,000 sits 445% above the 1998 sale of £20,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£27/sq ft) was about 46.7% below the postcode norm. At 70 m² it's 16.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (60 m² median across 27 EPCs).

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 17 Avon House is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR1 4YH. 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 17 Avon House. 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 17 Avon House was lodged in May 2013 at band D and expired in May 2023, 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. None is matched to 17 Avon House. 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 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR1 4YH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 Avon House is in council tax band A. 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.
