About Oakwood

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

Oakwood is a detached house in Elswick, Preston, Preston (PR4 3ZD). It has a recorded floor area of 170 m² (around 1830 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump.
