Overview

About 39 Balfour Road

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

39 Balfour Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Urmston, Manchester, Manchester (M41 5SU). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
