Overview

About 4 Church Close

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

4 Church Close is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Freckleton, Preston, Preston (PR4 1AP). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 388 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in March 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Across 1999–2019, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £237,000 sits 52.9% above the 2019 sale of £155,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£400/sq ft) was about 115.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 36 m² it sits well below the postcode median (60 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2012. Most recent transfer: August 2019 at £155,000.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Church Close is modelled from its 36 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR4 1AP. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 4 Church Close. 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 4 Church Close was lodged in February 2014 at band D and expired in February 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 4 Church Close. 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR4 1AP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Church Close 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.
