Overview

About 523 Princess Road

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

523 Princess Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Manchester (M20 1BS). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Today's modelled estimate of £293,000 sits 193% above the 2012 sale of £100,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£93/sq ft) was about 36.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 14 years ago, in August 2012.
