Overview

About 17 Beech Drive

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

17 Beech Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Newton, Preston, Preston (PR4 3TA). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2019) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump.

Held since December 2009 — that's 16 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 70 m² it's 15.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (83 m² median across 12 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £184,000 is 18.7% above the 2009 sale price.
