About 88 Dene Road
88 Dene Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Didsbury, Manchester, Manchester (M20 2GU). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1497 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 61), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 139 m² it's 18.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (170 m² median across 8 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £661,000 sits 62.8% above the 2009 sale of £406,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£271/sq ft) was about 65.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
