Overview

About 2 Highbank Drive

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

2 Highbank Drive is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Manchester (M20 5QR). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1008 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2011) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from June 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Today's modelled estimate of £349,000 sits 101.7% above the 2022 sale of £173,000. Most recent transfer: April 2022 at £173,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
