5 East Meade is a detached house in Prestwich, Manchester, Manchester (M25 0JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 198 m² (around 2131 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in February 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 198 m² the property is well over the postcode median (98 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £496,000 sits 120.4% above the 2008 sale of £225,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£106/sq ft) was about 21.1% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
