How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 2 is modelled from its 87 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in M20 6XB. 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 Flat 2
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 2 is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Manchester (M20 6XB). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 941 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. At 87 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 76–117 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (62 versus a best of 71). Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 87 m² it sits well below the postcode median (140 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2005–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £355,000 is 42% above the 2012 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£266/sq ft) was about 22.1% below the postcode norm. Last sold in May 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

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 Flat 2 is modelled from its 87 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in M20 6XB. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Flat 2. 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 Flat 2 was lodged in March 2012 at band D and expired in March 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Flat 2. 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 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from M20 6XB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 2 is in council tax band D. 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.
