Inverness Farm is a three-bedroom detached house in Pilling, Preston, Preston (PR3 6SS). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1528 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. When first surveyed in July 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in July 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. 18 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 8 refused, 2 pending. Past consents include an extension and an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An application is currently awaiting a decision. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).
