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).
