Overview

About 8 Powis Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

8 Powis Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Ashton-On-Ribble, Preston, Preston (PR2 1AD). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2025) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in March 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views.

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. At 56 m² it sits well below the postcode median (140 m² across 55 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 85% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £142,000 is 23.5% above the 2000 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£191/sq ft) was about 68.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Powis Road is modelled from its 56 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR2 1AD. 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 8 Powis Road. 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 8 Powis Road was lodged in July 2025 at band C and is valid until July 2035. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 8 Powis Road. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 38 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR2 1AD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Powis Road is in council tax band B. 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.
