Overview

About 31 Preston Road

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

31 Preston Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Southport (PR9 9EE). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 3-band jump.
