Overview

About 24 Finney Park Drive

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

24 Finney Park Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Lea, Preston, Preston (PR2 1QZ). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2022) returns a high B (score 89), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in August 2013 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since September 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 102 m² the property is well over the postcode median (75 m² across 40 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 88% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £255,000 is 41.7% above the 2008 sale price.
