About 49 Town Road
49 Town Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Croston, Leyland, Leyland (PR26 9RA). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1070 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since September 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 99 m² it's 17.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (84 m² median across 18 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £198,000 sits 52.3% above the 2009 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£122/sq ft) was about 25.4% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2010.
