The Oaks is a four-bedroom detached house in Fulwood, Preston, Preston (PR2 5RU). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2019) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, lighting went from Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2024. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -0.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £349,000 is 24.6% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£208/sq ft) was about 43.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 125 m² it's 27.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (172 m² median across 11 EPCs).
Recommended upgrades on file would lift this property by multiple EPC bands.
