About 8 Glenlea Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Glenlea Drive is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Manchester (M20 5QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2022) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (May 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
At 124 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £530,000 sits 140.9% above the 2012 sale of £220,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£165/sq ft) was about 21.7% below the postcode norm. Last sold in April 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

- The estimate for 8 Glenlea Drive is modelled from its 124 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in M20 5QJ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 8 Glenlea Drive. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8 Glenlea Drive. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 7 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.
