Overview

About 3 Medway House

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

3 Medway House is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Preston (PR1 4YJ). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1090 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 101 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (22–101 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 11 units on file. The latest certificate (August 2011) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 22 years, with the last transfer in April 2004. At 101 m² the property is well over the postcode median (62 m² across 40 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £107,000 sits 397.7% above the 2004 sale of £21,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£20/sq ft) was about 56.8% below the postcode norm.
