Overview

About 3 Lower Bank Road

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

3 Lower Bank Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Fulwood, Preston, Preston (PR2 8NS). It has a recorded floor area of 177 m² (around 1905 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
