Overview

About Waterwheel

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

Waterwheel is a detached house in Chipping, Preston, Preston (PR3 2QE). It has a recorded floor area of 399 m² (around 4295 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). Main heating runs on appliances able to use mineral oil or liquid biofuel. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
