About 2 Otway Street
2 Otway Street is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Preston (PR1 7XB). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in May 2018 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since August 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £119,000 sits 255.2% above the 1997 sale of £33,500.
