About 225a
225a is a four-bedroom detached house in Bretherton, Leyland, Leyland (PR26 9AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 199 m² (around 2145 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1991-1995. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
Held since August 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 199 m² the property is well over the postcode median (150 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £621,000 is 24.6% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 27.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2011.
