About Haydock Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Haydock Cottage is a detached house in Grimsargh, Preston, Preston (PR2 5LH). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (August 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 25 years, with the last transfer in April 2001. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £268,000 sits 495.6% above the 2001 sale of £45,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£38/sq ft) was about 77.9% below the postcode norm. At 111 m² it sits well below the postcode median (243 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, a conservatory and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Haydock Cottage is modelled from its 111 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR2 5LH. 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 Haydock 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 Haydock Cottage was lodged in August 2014 at band D and expired in August 2024, 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 Haydock 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR2 5LH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Haydock Cottage is in council tax band E. 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.
