About 17 Clifton Grove
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Clifton Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Preston (PR1 6YJ). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 991 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Last sold in May 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. Across 1996–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 is 33.3% above the 2017 sale price.

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 17 Clifton Grove is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR1 6YJ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 17 Clifton Grove. 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 Clifton Grove was lodged in June 2009 at band E and expired in June 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 17 Clifton Grove. 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 43 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR1 6YJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 Clifton Grove 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.
