Overview

About Flat 1

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

Flat 1 is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ashton-On-Ribble, Preston, Preston (PR2 1DU). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. At 63 m² this is the 13th smallest of 15 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 60–63 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in September 2013 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
