Overview

About 14a

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

14a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Ribbleton, Preston, Preston (PR2 6QU). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 74 m² this is the 16th smallest of 34 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 47–152 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £99,000 sits 59.7% above the 2015 sale of £62,000. Last sold in December 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 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 14a is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR2 6QU. 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 14a. 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 14a was lodged in July 2015 at band D and expired in July 2025, 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. None is matched to 14a. 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 6QU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
14a is in council tax band A. 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.
