Overview

About 8 Ainspool Lane

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

8 Ainspool Lane is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Churchtown, Preston, Preston (PR3 0HU). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2012) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on wood logs. The latest certificate is from December 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 57 m² it sits well below the postcode median (116 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£350/sq ft) was about 136.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £215,000 in December 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
