Overview

About Farnah

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

Farnah is a semi-detached house in Elswick, Preston, Preston (PR4 3YB). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since May 2002, a hold of 24 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £211,000 sits 102.9% above the 2002 sale of £104,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£99/sq ft) was about 35% below the postcode norm. At 98 m² it's 21% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (124 m² median across 19 EPCs).

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Farnah is modelled from its 98 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR4 3YB. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Farnah. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Farnah was lodged in May 2026 at band D and is valid until May 2036. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Farnah. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR4 3YB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Farnah is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
