About Homewood

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

Homewood is a detached house in Forton, Preston, Preston (PR3 0AN). It has a recorded floor area of 240 m² (around 2583 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 240 m² it's 25% larger than the typical home in the postcode (192 m² median across 10 EPCs). Across 2011–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 3% per year.
