About 3 Norris Street
3 Norris Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Preston (PR1 7PX). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony.
Untraded for 26 years, with the last transfer in August 2000. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.
