Overview

About 17 Merston Drive

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

17 Merston Drive is a semi-detached house in Manchester (M20 5NT). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1115 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £359,000 sits 82.2% above the 2009 sale of £197,000.
