How the estimate is made
The estimate for 29 31 is modelled from its 34 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SK1 3AY. 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.

About 29 31
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
29 31 is an end-of-terrace house in Stockport (SK1 3AY). It has a recorded floor area of 34 m² (around 366 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. At 34 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in 29 31, where floor areas span 33–38 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (63 versus a best of 74). The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £132,000 is 75.6% below the 2023 sale of £540,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2024. Most recent transfer: August 2023 at £540,000.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 29 31 is modelled from its 34 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SK1 3AY. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 29 31. 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 29 31 was lodged in October 2015 at band D and expired in October 2025, 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 29 31. 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 3 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 37 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SK1 3AY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
