Overview

About The Elms

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

The Elms is a four-bedroom detached house in Forton, Preston, Preston (PR3 0BA). It has a recorded floor area of 159 m² (around 1716 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 46). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record.

It hasn't traded since May 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £442,000 sits 57.9% above the 2011 sale of £280,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 21.3% below the postcode norm. At 159 m² it's 26.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (126 m² median across 21 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs).
