Overview

About 16 Farm Lane

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

16 Farm Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Prestwich, Manchester, Manchester (M25 2RX). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £242,000 sits 97.6% above the 2015 sale of £122,500. Last sold in December 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. At 73 m² it's 22.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (94 m² median across 24 EPCs).

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 16 Farm Lane is modelled from its 73 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in M25 2RX. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 16 Farm Lane. 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 16 Farm Lane was lodged in April 2015 at band D and expired in April 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 16 Farm Lane. 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from M25 2RX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
16 Farm Lane is in council tax band C. 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.
