Overview

About Beechlyn

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

Beechlyn is a five-bedroom detached house in Forton, Preston, Preston (PR3 0BB). It has a recorded floor area of 172 m² (around 1854 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 62), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory, a self-contained annexe, outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot.

Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £564,000 is 24% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£245/sq ft) was about 160.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2014.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Beechlyn is modelled from its 172 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR3 0BB. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Beechlyn. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Beechlyn was lodged in October 2008 at band F and expired in October 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Beechlyn. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR3 0BB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Beechlyn is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
