Overview

About 2 Thames House

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

2 Thames House is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Preston (PR1 4YJ). It has a recorded floor area of 32 m² (around 344 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 32 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (32–65 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (November 2021) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in November 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on biomass.

It hasn't traded since July 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. Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 32.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £104,000 sits 177.3% above the 2007 sale of £37,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£109/sq ft) was about 134.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 32 m² it sits well below the postcode median (63 m² across 40 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 Thames House is modelled from its 32 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR1 4YJ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 2 Thames 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 2 Thames House was lodged in November 2021 at band C and is valid until November 2031. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 2 Thames 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 35 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR1 4YJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Thames 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.
