About 8 Ben Street
8 Ben Street is a mid-terrace house in Manchester (M11 4EW). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since June 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since May 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 78 m² it's 18.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (66 m² median across 36 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £124,000 sits 90.8% above the 2007 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£77/sq ft) was about 43.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
