Overview

About Tarnside

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

Tarnside is a detached house in Barnacre, Preston, Preston (PR3 1UA). It has a recorded floor area of 208 m² (around 2239 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2024) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in September 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on oil.

Today's modelled estimate of £471,000 is 40.8% below the 2021 sale of £795,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£355/sq ft) was about 77.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 208 m² the property is well over the postcode median (114 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Sold June 2021 for £795,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 Tarnside is modelled from its 208 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR3 1UA. 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 Tarnside. 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 Tarnside was lodged in July 2024 at band D and is valid until July 2034. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Tarnside. 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR3 1UA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Tarnside is in council tax band D. 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.
