Overview

About 242 Manley Road

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

242 Manley Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Manchester (M21 0RD). It has a recorded floor area of 166 m² (around 1787 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since September 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 32.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £527,000 sits 115.1% above the 2007 sale of £245,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£137/sq ft) was about 43.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an annexe approved in 2009. Past consents include an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 166 m² it's 17.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (141 m² median across 7 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs).
