Overview

About 5 Croft Avenue

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

5 Croft Avenue is a detached house in Prestwich, Manchester, Manchester (M25 2SE). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 725 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 64), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £250,000 sits 98.4% above the 2011 sale of £126,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 67 m² it's 27.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (93 m² median across 8 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).
