Overview

About 18 Ash Grove

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

18 Ash Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Prestwich, Manchester, Manchester (M25 3DS). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since February 2014. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since April 2004 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 35 m² it sits well below the postcode median (82 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2002–2004, sale prices on this property compounded at 31.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £344,000 sits 137.2% above the 2004 sale of £145,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£385/sq ft) was about 54.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 18 Ash Grove is modelled from its 35 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in M25 3DS. 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 18 Ash Grove. 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 18 Ash Grove was lodged in September 2014 at band E 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 18 Ash Grove. 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 3DS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
18 Ash Grove 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.
