How the estimate is made
The estimate for 52a is modelled from its 48 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR4 2AH. 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.

About 52a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
52a is a mid-terrace house in Kirkham, Preston, Preston (PR4 2AH). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 48 m² this is the 8th smallest of 20 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 28–128 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 20 units on file.
Across 2017–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £186,000 is 34.7% below the 2022 sale of £285,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£552/sq ft) was about 297.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: March 2022 at £285,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 52a is modelled from its 48 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR4 2AH. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 52a. 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 52a was lodged in May 2013 at band D and expired in May 2023, 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. None is matched to 52a. 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 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR4 2AH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 52a is in council tax band A. 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.
