25 Portland Crescent is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Manchester (M13 0BU). It has a recorded floor area of 188 m² (around 2021 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 2004, a hold of 22 years that's notably long for the area. At 188 m² the property is well over the postcode median (44 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2012. Past consents include subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £373,000 is 35.6% above the 2004 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£136/sq ft) was about 60.1% below the postcode norm.
