About 1 Forest Way
1 Forest Way is a detached house in Fulwood, Preston, Preston (PR2 8PR). It has a recorded floor area of 173 m² (around 1858 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74).

Held since June 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 173 m² the property is well over the postcode median (122 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £382,000 is 47.8% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£139/sq ft) was about 29.9% below the postcode norm.
