About Fairacre

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

Fairacre is a four-bedroom detached house in Whittingham, Preston, Preston (PR3 2AL). It has a recorded floor area of 224 m² (around 2411 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F.

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 Fairacre is modelled from its 224 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR3 2AL. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Fairacre. 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 Fairacre was lodged in November 2016 at band E and is valid until November 2026. 2 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 Fairacre. 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 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR3 2AL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Fairacre is in council tax band F. 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.
