Overview

About 5 Countess Road

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

5 Countess Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Manchester (M20 6RS). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2019) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £357,000 sits 59.4% above the 2007 sale of £224,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs).
