About Ridge View
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Ridge View is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Haighton, Preston, Preston (PR2 5SH). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.
At 78 m² it sits well below the postcode median (254 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include new windows, an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £341,000 is 27.7% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£318/sq ft) was about 68.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in May 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Ridge View is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR2 5SH. 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 Ridge View. 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 Ridge View was lodged in March 2016 at band F and expired in March 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to Ridge View. 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 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR2 5SH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Ridge View 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.
