About 18 Brixton Avenue
18 Brixton Avenue is a five-bedroom mid-terrace house in Manchester (M20 1JF). It has a recorded floor area of 157 m² (around 1690 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2023) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2011. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).
It hasn't traded since October 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £601,000 sits 586.9% above the 1998 sale of £87,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£52/sq ft) was about 71.9% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused.
