Overview

About Meadowvale

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

Meadowvale is a four-bedroom detached house in Elswick, Preston, Preston (PR4 3YB). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1442 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (July 2018) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band.

It hasn't traded since August 2004, a hold of 22 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1998–2004, sale prices on this property compounded at 14% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £485,000 sits 64.4% above the 2004 sale of £295,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£205/sq ft) was about 36.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Meadowvale is modelled from its 134 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales 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. 2 sales are recorded for Meadowvale. 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 Meadowvale was lodged in July 2018 at band D and is valid until July 2028. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Meadowvale. 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
Meadowvale is in council tax band F. 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.
