Overview

About Flat 3

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

Flat 3 is a two-bedroom detached 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 bottom. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
