About 8 Caroline Street
8 Caroline Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Preston (PR1 5UX). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since January 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 20.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £107,000 is 33.7% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£130/sq ft) was about 81.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
