About 22 Lea Road
22 Lea Road is a semi-detached house in Lea, Preston, Preston (PR2 1TN). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since January 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £220,000 sits 246.5% above the 1997 sale of £63,500.

Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
