About 4 Ash Grove
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Ash Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Preston (PR1 5QY). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (March 2016); the latest reading is one band lower. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £195,000 sits 56% above the 2017 sale of £125,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£114/sq ft) was about 171.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 9 years ago, in March 2017. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2008.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 4 Ash Grove is modelled from its 102 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR1 5QY. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 4 Ash Grove. 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 4 Ash Grove was lodged in May 2016 at band F and expired in May 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 4 Ash Grove. 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 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR1 5QY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 4 Ash Grove is in council tax band B. 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.
