Overview

About 3 Bishop Road

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

3 Bishop Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Urmston, Manchester, Manchester (M41 8QU). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 2013–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £415,000 is 28.5% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£319/sq ft) was about 52.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: August 2021 at £322,950. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
