About 5 Ribble House

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

5 Ribble House is a semi-detached house in Preston (PR1 4YH). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 55 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 33–72 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top.

It hasn't traded since March 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.
