About Ratcliffe Wharf

Ratcliffe Wharf is a detached house in Forton, Preston, Preston (PR3 0AN). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1561 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2018) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 3-band jump.

Today's modelled estimate of £432,000 is 22.2% below the 2020 sale of £555,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look.

At 145 m² it sits well below the postcode median (240 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused.
