Overview

About 27a

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

27a is a three-bedroom detached house in Fulwood, Preston, Preston (PR2 8EA). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 129 m² it's 15.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (112 m² median across 40 EPCs). Across 2015–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.3% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£238/sq ft) was about 63% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold March 2021 for £330,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2022.
