Overview

About 43 Watkins Drive

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

43 Watkins Drive is an end-of-terrace house in Prestwich, Manchester, Manchester (M25 0DR). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 6 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 93), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 2002–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.5% per year.

Method

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 43 Watkins Drive is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in M25 0DR. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 43 Watkins 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 43 Watkins Drive was lodged in January 2016 at band C and expired in January 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 6 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 43 Watkins 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 44 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from M25 0DR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
43 Watkins Drive is in council tax band B. 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.
