Overview

About Prospect Cottage

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

Prospect Cottage is a five-bedroom detached house in Longridge, Preston, Preston (PR3 3SL). It has a recorded floor area of 239 m² (around 2573 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Past consents include tree works and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £551,000 is 41.3% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£152/sq ft) was about 21.2% below the postcode norm. Last sold in September 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

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 Prospect Cottage is modelled from its 239 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR3 3SL. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Prospect Cottage. 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 Prospect Cottage was lodged in January 2013 at band E and expired in January 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to Prospect Cottage. 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR3 3SL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Prospect Cottage is in council tax band G. 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.
