100 Scholes Lane, Prestwich, Manchester, M25 0AU

100 Scholes Lane is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Prestwich, Manchester, Manchester (M25 0AU). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 76 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (76–185 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (44 versus a best of 64). The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 63). The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 76 m² it sits well below the postcode median (162 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£303/sq ft) was about 17.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
