5 Chingle Close, Fulwood, Preston, PR2 9LW

5 Chingle Close is a detached house in Fulwood, Preston, Preston (PR2 9LW). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 31 years, with the last transfer in April 1995. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 148 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £339,000 sits 239.2% above the 1995 sale of £99,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£63/sq ft) was about 58.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
