Overview

About 2 Wilson Drive

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

2 Wilson Drive is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Elswick, Preston, Preston (PR4 3XL). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1056 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2011) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from December 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since March 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 98 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 17.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £188,000 is 10.6% above the 2008 sale price.
