Local market context
17c is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Fulwood, Preston, Preston (PR2 8NS). It has a recorded floor area of 252 m² (around 2713 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2017) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 56), a 2-band jump.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in March 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 252 m² the property is well over the postcode median (179 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, a porch and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £490,000 is 26.5% above the 2007 sale price.
17c's carbon output runs well above what efficient homes in the postcode produce.
