Overview

About 3 Topiary Gardens

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

3 Topiary Gardens is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Bowgreave, Preston, Preston (PR3 1YF). It has a recorded floor area of 178 m² (around 1916 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 178 m² the property is well over the postcode median (114 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). 13 years since the last transfer (April 2013). Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2002–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £322,000 is 19.3% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£141/sq ft) was about 17.7% below the postcode norm.

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 3 Topiary Gardens is modelled from its 178 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR3 1YF. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 3 Topiary Gardens. 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 3 Topiary Gardens was lodged in April 2015 at band D and expired in April 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 3 Topiary Gardens. 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 1YF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Topiary Gardens is in council tax band E. 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.
