Overview

About 2a

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

2a is a six-bedroom semi-detached house in Manchester (M20 2NH). It has a recorded floor area of 216 m² (around 2323 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 216 m² the property is well over the postcode median (65 m² across 70 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £766,000 sits 63.2% above the 2012 sale of £469,250. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£202/sq ft) was about 17.2% below the postcode norm. Last sold in May 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2a is modelled from its 216 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in M20 2NH. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 2a. 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 2a was lodged in August 2009 at band E and expired in August 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 2a. 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 38 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from M20 2NH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2a is in council tax band D. 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.
