About 2a
2a is a three-bedroom detached house in Lea, Preston, Preston (PR2 1TN). It has a recorded floor area of 154 m² (around 1660 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows a C (score 74). The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since May 2009 — that's 17 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. At 154 m² the property is well over the postcode median (116 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2000. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £312,000 is 38.7% above the 2009 sale price.
