Overview

About 1 Cecil Drive

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

1 Cecil Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Urmston, Manchester, Manchester (M41 8UW). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 749 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a C (score 70). The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe.

It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 20 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. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £342,000 sits 111.1% above the 2007 sale of £162,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs).

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 1 Cecil Drive is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in M41 8UW. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 1 Cecil Drive. 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 1 Cecil Drive was lodged in March 2009 at band C and expired in March 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Cecil Drive. 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 9 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from M41 8UW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Cecil Drive is in council tax band B. 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.
