About Hollowforth House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Hollowforth House is a detached house in Woodplumpton, Preston, Preston (PR4 0BD). It has a recorded floor area of 392 m² (around 4219 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a G (score 18), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 60), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 392 m² the property is well over the postcode median (160 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £557,000 sits 165.2% above the 2009 sale of £210,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£50/sq ft) was about 70% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Hollowforth House is modelled from its 392 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR4 0BD. 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 Hollowforth 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 Hollowforth House was lodged in March 2015 at band G and expired in March 2025, 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 Hollowforth 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR4 0BD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Hollowforth House is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
