About 1 Holmleigh
1 Holmleigh is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Pilling, Preston, Preston (PR3 6HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (March 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in August 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 85 m² it's 26.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (116 m² median across 52 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £217,000 is 35.7% above the 2007 sale price.
