Overview

About 8 Shepherds Avenue

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

8 Shepherds Avenue is a detached house in Bowgreave, Preston, Preston (PR3 1TE). It has a recorded floor area of 166 m² (around 1787 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in January 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £390,000 sits 189% above the 1998 sale of £134,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£76/sq ft) was about 56.2% below the postcode norm. At 166 m² it's 16.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (143 m² median across 4 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016.
