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 £473,000 sits 72% above the 2016 sale of £275,000. Last sold in April 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
