About 17 Bullfinch Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Bullfinch Street is a mid-terrace house in Preston (PR1 6TP). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2016) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (July 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 72), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since March 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. At 123 m² the property is well over the postcode median (90 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £134,000 sits 262.2% above the 2003 sale of £37,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£28/sq ft) was about 68.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 17 Bullfinch Street is modelled from its 123 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR1 6TP. 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 17 Bullfinch Street. 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 17 Bullfinch Street was lodged in November 2016 at band E and expired in November 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 5 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.

- Council tax band
- 17 Bullfinch Street is in council tax band A. 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.
