About 4 Otway Street
4 Otway Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Preston (PR1 7XB). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2020) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since November 2020. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 95 m² the property is well over the postcode median (67 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at -2.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £111,000 sits 64.2% above the 2007 sale of £67,600. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£66/sq ft) was about 32.6% below the postcode norm.
