Overview

About Hill Crest

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

Hill Crest is a semi-detached house in Knowle Green, Preston, Preston (PR3 2YQ). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since March 2012. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on wood logs. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Most recent transfer was May 2026 at £305,000 — fresh data. At 83 m² it sits well below the postcode median (159 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2026, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.9% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£341/sq ft) was about 45.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2021.
