Sale history
Every transaction HM Land Registry records for 279 Preston New Road, newest first.
1 recorded sale since 2010.
This home's recorded sales joined up, with the change between each — against BB2's yearly median.
What a home of this era typically means
- Almost certainly solid (single-leaf) brick walls — no cavity, so harder and costlier to insulate than modern cavity walls.
- Shallow foundations by today’s standards; on clay soils, watch for historic movement and subsidence.
- Typically suspended timber ground floors and original single-glazed sash windows unless upgraded.
- Built with breathable lime mortar and plaster — modern cement renders or gypsum can trap damp if applied over them.
