Overview

About 1 West View

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

1 West View is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Forton, Preston, Preston (PR3 0AB). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 6 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 113), a 3-band jump. Period features are noted in the property record.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in May 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £177,000 sits 63.9% above the 2008 sale of £108,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£148/sq ft) was about 26.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
