18a, Clitheroes Lane, Freckleton, Preston, PR4 1SD

18a is a detached house in Freckleton, Preston, Preston (PR4 1SD). It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1453 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows an F (score 25), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 135 m² the property is well over the postcode median (96 m² across 25 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 £268,000 sits 219% above the 1999 sale of £84,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£58/sq ft) was about 58% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2010.
