47 Mellington Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Manchester (M20 5WE). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1486 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 138 m² the property is well over the postcode median (105 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £560,000 sits 505.4% above the 1997 sale of £92,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£62/sq ft) was about 68.6% below the postcode norm.
