Overview

About 8 Knowles Place

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

8 Knowles Place is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Manchester (M15 6DA). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 68 m² this is the 22nd smallest of 24 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 65–70 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since July 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Today's modelled estimate of £176,000 sits 89.2% above the 2011 sale of £93,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 15 years ago, in June 2011.
