21 Brownwood Avenue is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Stockport (SK1 4AY). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (December 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since June 2008, a hold of 18 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. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2006–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 67.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £185,000 is 41.2% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£190/sq ft) was about 36.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
