About Vale House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Vale House is a detached house in Calder Vale, Preston, Preston (PR3 1SH). It has a recorded floor area of 316 m² (around 3401 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1991-1995. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £668,000 is 23.7% below the 2018 sale of £875,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£257/sq ft) was about 92.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 316 m² the property is well over the postcode median (99 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Most recent transfer: December 2018 at £875,000.

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 Vale House is modelled from its 316 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR3 1SH. 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 Vale House. 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 Vale House was lodged in January 2016 at band E and expired in January 2026, 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 Vale House. 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 1 school and 17 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR3 1SH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
