Overview

About 8 Amberwood

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

8 Amberwood is an end-of-terrace house in Kirkham, Preston, Preston (PR4 2LB). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £152,000 sits 218.3% above the 1997 sale of £47,750. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£81/sq ft) was about 52% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs).
