Overview

About 5a

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

5a is a mid-terrace house in Lea, Preston, Preston (PR2 1TL). It has a recorded floor area of 31 m² (around 336 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 31 m² this is the 11th smallest of 43 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 29–59 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 43 units on file. The latest certificate (December 2011) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £93,000 sits 106.7% above the 2012 sale of £45,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£134/sq ft) was about 29.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5a is modelled from its 31 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR2 1TL. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 5a. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 5a was lodged in December 2011 at band D and expired in December 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR2 1TL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5a is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
