Overview

About 4 Droughts Lane

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

4 Droughts Lane is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Prestwich, Manchester, Manchester (M25 2ST). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (June 2023) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. Period features are noted in the property record.

Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in November 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £220,000 sits 388.9% above the 1999 sale of £45,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£65/sq ft) was about 62% below the postcode norm. At 64 m² it sits well below the postcode median (105 m² across 20 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
