About 16 Goldfinch Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Goldfinch Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Preston (PR1 6SX). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since December 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £119,000 is 11.2% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£117/sq ft) was about 256.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

- 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 16 Goldfinch Street. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
