About Sawpits Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Sawpits Cottage is a two-bedroom detached house in Out Rawcliffe, Preston, Preston (PR3 6TD). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot.
Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in December 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £323,000 sits 135.8% above the 1999 sale of £137,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£174/sq ft) was about 19.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 73 m² it sits well below the postcode median (203 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Sawpits Cottage is modelled from its 73 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR3 6TD. 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 Sawpits 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 Sawpits Cottage was lodged in September 2013 at band E and expired in September 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Sawpits 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.
