About 3 The Hawthorns
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 The Hawthorns is a semi-detached house in Bilsborrow, Preston, Preston (PR3 0RF). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 722 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 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. Today's modelled estimate of £157,000 sits 86.9% above the 2009 sale of £84,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£116/sq ft) was about 49.5% below the postcode norm.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 3 The Hawthorns is modelled from its 67 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR3 0RF. 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 3 The Hawthorns. 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 3 The Hawthorns was lodged in August 2009 at band C and expired in August 2019, 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. None is matched to 3 The Hawthorns. 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 4 schools and 26 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR3 0RF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 The Hawthorns is in council tax band C. 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.
