Overview

About 8 Alert Street

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

8 Alert Street is a mid-terrace house in Ashton-On-Ribble, Preston, Preston (PR2 2SP). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £139,000 is 32.4% above the 2007 sale price.
