1 Stanley Villas is a semi-detached house in Samlesbury, Preston, Preston (PR5 0RB). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows an F (score 24), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 109 m² it's 22.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (140 m² median across 7 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £290,000 sits 229.7% above the 1998 sale of £87,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£75/sq ft) was about 26.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
