About 6 Highbank Drive
6 Highbank Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Manchester (M20 5QR). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.
Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £379,000 sits 176.6% above the 2009 sale of £137,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£133/sq ft) was about 24.3% below the postcode norm.
