23 Bent Lane, Prestwich, Manchester, M25 1DL

23 Bent Lane is a mid-terrace house in Prestwich, Manchester, Manchester (M25 1DL). It has a recorded floor area of 269 m² (around 2895 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2025) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2011. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74).

It hasn't traded since April 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 269 m² the property is well over the postcode median (47 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £703,000 sits 68.6% above the 2008 sale of £417,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
