It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a G (score 2), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (October 2013); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on wood logs.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 26 Cross Street is modelled from its 128 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR8 1HZ. 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 26 Cross Street. 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 26 Cross Street was lodged in March 2014 at band G and expired in March 2024, 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 26 Cross Street. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR8 1HZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 26 Cross Street 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.
