Aura Court, Apartment 23, 1 Percy Street, Manchester, M15 4AB

Aura Court is a two-bedroom detached house in Manchester (M15 4AB). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 465 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 43 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 45 units on EPC record in Aura Court, where floor areas span 30–160 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 45 units on file. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows a C (score 70). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £131,000 sits 69% above the 2007 sale of £77,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£167/sq ft) was about 16.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 43 m² it sits well below the postcode median (68 m² across 44 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
