About 1 Gainsborough Avenue
1 Gainsborough Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Manchester (M20 4US). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2010) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). The latest certificate is from January 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £387,000 sits 86.1% above the 2007 sale of £208,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£155/sq ft) was about 15.3% below the postcode norm. At 125 m² it's 27.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (98 m² median across 5 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
