Overview

About 17 Blackthorn Close

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

17 Blackthorn Close is a detached house in Newton, Preston, Preston (PR4 3TU). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 1998 — that's 28 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 £293,000 sits 215.1% above the 1998 sale of £93,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£88/sq ft) was about 59% below the postcode norm.
