Overview

About Oakenvale Cottage

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

Oakenvale Cottage is a mid-terrace house in Calder Vale, Preston, Preston (PR3 1SJ). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 99 m² the property is well over the postcode median (53 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £195,000 is 47.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£124/sq ft) was about 42.4% below the postcode norm.
