Overview

About 26 Hereford Drive

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

26 Hereford Drive is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Prestwich, Manchester, Manchester (M25 0AG). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2010–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £545,000 is 38% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£262/sq ft) was about 35.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 26 Hereford Drive is modelled from its 140 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in M25 0AG. 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 26 Hereford Drive. 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 26 Hereford Drive was lodged in July 2013 at band D and expired in July 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 26 Hereford Drive. 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 5 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 39 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from M25 0AG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
26 Hereford Drive is in council tax band E. 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.
