1a is a mid-terrace house in Fulwood, Preston, Preston (PR2 8EA). It has a recorded floor area of 165 m² (around 1776 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2016) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2016. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).
It hasn't traded since November 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 165 m² the property is well over the postcode median (112 m² across 40 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £275,000 sits 333.1% above the 1998 sale of £63,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£36/sq ft) was about 75.8% below the postcode norm.
