Overview

About 7 Acorn Close

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

7 Acorn Close is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Preston (PR1 6RB). It has a recorded floor area of 191 m² (around 2056 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2020) shows a C (score 73). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84).

It hasn't traded since February 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
