Overview

About 2 West View

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

2 West View is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Forton, Preston, Preston (PR3 0AB). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (79 m² across 32 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Sold April 2021 for £105,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
