Overview

About 23 Balfour Road

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

23 Balfour Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Urmston, Manchester, Manchester (M41 5SU). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Other recorded features include a conservatory and a basement.

It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £350,000 sits 133.3% above the 2007 sale of £150,000.
