Overview

About Pear Tree Cottage

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

Pear Tree Cottage is a two-bedroom detached house in Ribchester, Preston, Preston (PR3 3XX). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in September 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Sold January 2021 for £485,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1998–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £556,000 is 14.6% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£392/sq ft) was about 49.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 115 m² it's 25.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (155 m² median across 16 EPCs).

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 Pear Tree Cottage is modelled from its 115 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR3 3XX. 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 Pear Tree 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 Pear Tree Cottage was lodged in April 2015 at band E and expired in April 2025, 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. 5 applications are matched to Pear Tree 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 2 schools and 22 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR3 3XX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Pear Tree Cottage is in council tax band F. 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.
