Collingwood is a semi-detached house in Goosnargh, Preston, Preston (PR3 2BN). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 852 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £214,000 sits 237% above the 1996 sale of £63,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£75/sq ft) was about 64.8% below the postcode norm. At 79 m² it sits well below the postcode median (117 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, partial demolition and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
