Overview

About Gilroy

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

Gilroy is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Longton, Preston, Preston (PR4 4SR). It has a recorded floor area of 195 m² (around 2099 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor.
