Overview

About Mill Cottage

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

Mill Cottage is a six-bedroom detached house in Ingol, Preston, Preston (PR2 3XW). It has a recorded floor area of 221 m² (around 2379 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 221 m² the property is well over the postcode median (151 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1998–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £419,000 is 10.3% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£160/sq ft) was about 16.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in February 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years.

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 Mill Cottage is modelled from its 221 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR2 3XW. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Mill Cottage. 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 Mill Cottage was lodged in August 2015 at band D and expired in August 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Mill Cottage. 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR2 3XW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Mill Cottage is in council tax band D. 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.
