Overview

About 4 Apple Tree Close

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

4 Apple Tree Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in St. Michaels, Preston, Preston (PR3 0TG). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 967 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2011) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from April 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since January 2004 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 90 m² it's 20.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (75 m² median across 8 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £198,000 sits 123.7% above the 2004 sale of £88,500.

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 4 Apple Tree Close is modelled from its 90 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR3 0TG. 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 4 Apple Tree Close. 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 4 Apple Tree Close was lodged in April 2011 at band D and expired in April 2021, 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 4 Apple Tree Close. 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 14 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR3 0TG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Apple Tree Close is in council tax band A. 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.
