Overview

About 56a

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

56a is a detached house in Ashton-On-Ribble, Preston, Preston (PR2 1BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 72 m² this is the 6th smallest of 18 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 51–153 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 72 m² it sits well below the postcode median (112 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs).
