About 8 Alexandra Drive
8 Alexandra Drive is an end-of-terrace house in Manchester (M19 2WW). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1722 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2016) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2016); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump.
Held since December 2008 — that's 18 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 160 m² the property is well over the postcode median (101 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £356,000 sits 58.2% above the 2008 sale of £225,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£131/sq ft) was about 23.7% below the postcode norm.
