Overview

About 20 Fort Road

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

20 Fort Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Prestwich, Manchester, Manchester (M25 0HA). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
