Overview

About 2 Ash Grove

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

2 Ash Grove is a four-bedroom detached house in Longton, Preston, Preston (PR4 5ZR). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1337 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £307,000 is 42.8% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£161/sq ft) was about 19.1% below the postcode norm. Last sold in August 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 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 2 Ash Grove is modelled from its 124 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR4 5ZR. 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 2 Ash Grove. 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 2 Ash Grove was lodged in May 2011 at band E and expired in May 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 2 Ash Grove. 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR4 5ZR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Ash Grove is in council tax band D. 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.
