Overview

About 8 Rockburgh Crescent

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

8 Rockburgh Crescent is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Walmer Bridge, Preston, Preston (PR4 5RD). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 414 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2011) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 63). The latest certificate is from April 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2026. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2011–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £216,000 is 49% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£350/sq ft) was about 105.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

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 8 Rockburgh Crescent is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR4 5RD. 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 8 Rockburgh Crescent. 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 8 Rockburgh Crescent was lodged in April 2011 at band E and expired in April 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 8 Rockburgh Crescent. 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR4 5RD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Rockburgh Crescent 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.
