2c, Adamson Gardens, Manchester, M20 2TQ

2c is a detached house in Manchester (M20 2TQ). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1996–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £556,000 is 20.6% below the 2021 sale of £700,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£619/sq ft) was about 174.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 105 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Sold October 2021 for £700,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
