About 13 Dorset Road

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

13 Dorset Road is a mid-terrace house in Preston (PR1 6LD). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (December 2013); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
