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.

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.

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 Hill Crest is modelled from its 83 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR3 2YQ. 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 Hill Crest. 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 Hill Crest was lodged in April 2016 at band F and expired in April 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 Hill Crest. 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. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from PR3 2YQ. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Hill Crest is in council tax band D. 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.
