Overview

About 25 Merston Drive

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

25 Merston Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Manchester (M20 5NT). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2025) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2016. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Other recorded features include a loft.

Held since September 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £385,000 sits 92.5% above the 2007 sale of £199,950.
