12a is a three-bedroom detached house in Hoghton, Preston, Preston (PR5 0EA). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2022) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since March 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87). Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since November 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 121 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £237,000 sits 97.5% above the 2007 sale of £120,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£92/sq ft) was about 39.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
