Overview

About 20 Carbis Avenue

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

20 Carbis Avenue is a five-bedroom detached house in Grimsargh, Preston, Preston (PR2 5LU). It has a recorded floor area of 273 m² (around 2939 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in August 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. At 273 m² the property is well over the postcode median (173 m² across 39 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £553,000 is 36.6% above the 2006 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£138/sq ft) was about 24.7% below the postcode norm.
