Overview

About 39 Merston Drive

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

39 Merston Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Manchester (M20 5NT). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1257 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from April 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since October 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1996–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £424,000 sits 81.2% above the 2010 sale of £234,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 117 m² it's 18% larger than the typical home in the postcode (99 m² median across 16 EPCs).
