Overview

About 7 Anchor Drive

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

7 Anchor Drive is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Hutton, Preston, Preston (PR4 5SQ). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

Today's modelled estimate of £156,000 sits 115.2% above the 2012 sale of £72,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£85/sq ft) was about 15.8% below the postcode norm. Last sold in November 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 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 7 Anchor Drive is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR4 5SQ. 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 7 Anchor Drive. 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 7 Anchor Drive was lodged in November 2013 at band D and expired in November 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 7 Anchor Drive. 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 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR4 5SQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 Anchor Drive is in council tax band B. 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.
