Overview

About 3 Highfield Road

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

3 Highfield Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Prestwich, Manchester, Manchester (M25 3AW). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2014) 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 November 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 138 m² the property is well over the postcode median (93 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2006–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £476,000 sits 58.7% above the 2016 sale of £300,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in May 2016.

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 3 Highfield Road is modelled from its 138 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in M25 3AW. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 3 Highfield Road. 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 3 Highfield Road was lodged in September 2014 at band D and expired in September 2024, 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. 1 application is matched to 3 Highfield Road. 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from M25 3AW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Highfield Road 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.
