Overview

About 1 Merston Drive

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

1 Merston Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Manchester (M20 5NT). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £424,000 is 41.3% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£282/sq ft) was about 59.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in January 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
