How the estimate is made
The estimate for 18 Cranford Avenue is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in M20 6EH. 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.

About 18 Cranford Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Cranford Avenue is a semi-detached house in Manchester (M20 6EH). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (March 2016); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in May 1997. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £308,000 sits 744.3% above the 1997 sale of £36,480. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£37/sq ft) was about 82.6% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 91 m² it's 17.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 26 EPCs).

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 18 Cranford Avenue is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in M20 6EH. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 18 Cranford Avenue. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 18 Cranford Avenue was lodged in April 2016 at band D and expired in April 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 18 Cranford Avenue. 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. The 40 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from M20 6EH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 18 Cranford Avenue is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
