About 4 East View
4 East View is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Preston (PR1 5AS). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since October 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump.
