Overview

About Apple Croft House

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

Apple Croft House is a detached house in Pilling, Preston, Preston (PR3 6AX). It has a recorded floor area of 180 m² (around 1938 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. 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 December 2015. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £449,000 sits 63.3% above the 2016 sale of £275,000. Last sold in April 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

How to read this page

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Apple Croft House is modelled from its 180 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR3 6AX. 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 Apple Croft House. 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 Apple Croft House 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. None is matched to Apple Croft House. 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 6AX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
