How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Dovedale Avenue is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in M20 1DP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

About 4 Dovedale Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Dovedale Avenue is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Manchester (M20 1DP). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in December 2012 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Today's modelled estimate of £274,000 sits 110.8% above the 2016 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£170/sq ft) was about 37.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 10 years since the last transfer (September 2016).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 4 Dovedale Avenue is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in M20 1DP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 4 Dovedale Avenue. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 4 Dovedale Avenue was lodged in May 2016 at band C and expired in May 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 4 Dovedale Avenue. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 7 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 45 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from M20 1DP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 4 Dovedale Avenue is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
