Overview

About 7 Wilson Drive

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

7 Wilson Drive is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Elswick, Preston, Preston (PR4 3XL). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 116 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £236,000 sits 271.7% above the 2000 sale of £63,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£51/sq ft) was about 68.6% below the postcode norm.
