About 5 Harcourt Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Harcourt Street is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Preston (PR1 7ER). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 498 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 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. Today's modelled estimate of £91,000 sits 82% above the 2009 sale of £50,000. At 46 m² it's 15.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (55 m² median across 30 EPCs).

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 5 Harcourt Street is modelled from its 46 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR1 7ER. 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 5 Harcourt 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 5 Harcourt Street was lodged in February 2009 at band C and expired in February 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 5 Harcourt Street. 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 44 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR1 7ER, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Harcourt 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.
