About 208 St Thomas Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
208 St Thomas Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Preston (PR1 6LN). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 5 certificates since April 2014. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 1998–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £168,000 is 12% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£160/sq ft) was about 63.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 87 m² it's 26.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (119 m² median across 23 EPCs). Most recent transfer: August 2021 at £150,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 208 St Thomas Road is modelled from its 87 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR1 6LN. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 208 St Thomas Road. 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 208 St Thomas Road was lodged in July 2015 at band E and expired in July 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 5 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 208 St Thomas Road. 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 46 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR1 6LN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 208 St Thomas Road 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.
