Overview

About 28 Birch Avenue

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

28 Birch Avenue is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Middleton, Manchester, Manchester (M24 1DR). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since January 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £185,000 sits 270% above the 2003 sale of £50,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£73/sq ft) was about 60.3% below the postcode norm.
