Overview

About 12a

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

12a is a three-bedroom detached house in Ashton-On-Ribble, Preston, Preston (PR2 1JR). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1226 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2009 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £264,000 is 18.4% above the 2009 sale price.
