About 8 Colwyn Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Colwyn Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Middleton, Manchester, Manchester (M24 1ER). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 91 m² it's 16.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 6 EPCs). Across 2002–2023, sale prices on this property compounded at 5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £312,000 is 10.6% above the 2023 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£288/sq ft) was about 29.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 8 Colwyn Avenue is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in M24 1ER. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 8 Colwyn 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 8 Colwyn Avenue was lodged in December 2013 at band D and expired in December 2023, 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. 1 application is matched to 8 Colwyn 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 9 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 40 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from M24 1ER, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Colwyn Avenue is in council tax band C. 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.
