Overview

About 15 Derwent House

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

15 Derwent House is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Preston (PR1 4YL). 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. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. At 55 m² this is the 6th smallest of 18 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 46–81 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include a balcony.

Across 2004–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £104,000 sits 133.7% above the 2014 sale of £44,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£75/sq ft) was about 56.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 15 Derwent House is modelled from its 55 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR1 4YL. 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 15 Derwent 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 15 Derwent House was lodged in May 2026 at band D and is valid until May 2036. 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 15 Derwent 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 4YL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
15 Derwent 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.
