Overview

About 3 Fort Road

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

3 Fort Road is a semi-detached house in Prestwich, Manchester, Manchester (M25 0HA). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (June 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since April 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1996–2003, sale prices on this property compounded at 17% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £273,000 sits 137.4% above the 2003 sale of £115,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£83/sq ft) was about 28.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
