Overview

About Grove House

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

Grove House is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Preston (PR1 6AS). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 60 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Grove House (60–138 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 6 units on file. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (December 2021) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (May 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73).

Held since October 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (88 m² across 31 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2021. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£240/sq ft) was about 22.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

How 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 Grove House is modelled from its 60 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR1 6AS. 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 Grove 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 Grove House was lodged in December 2021 at band D and is valid until December 2031. 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 Grove 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 43 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR1 6AS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
