153 Manchester Old Road is a semi-detached house in Middleton, Manchester, Manchester (M24 4DZ). It has a recorded floor area of 244 m² (around 2626 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 244 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £452,000 sits 96.5% above the 2009 sale of £230,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
