About 13 Derby Square
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
13 Derby Square is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Preston (PR1 5XN). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in November 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2004–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at -1.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £112,000 sits 107.4% above the 2015 sale of £54,000.

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 13 Derby Square is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR1 5XN. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 13 Derby Square. 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 13 Derby Square was lodged in July 2014 at band D and expired in July 2024, 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. None is matched to 13 Derby Square. 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 5XN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 13 Derby Square 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.
