Overview

About 257 Blackpool Road

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

257 Blackpool Road is a semi-detached house in Preston (PR1 6XD). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (October 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
