Overview

About 5 Penningtons Lane

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

5 Penningtons Lane is a two-bedroom detached house in Gawsworth, Macclesfield, Macclesfield (SK11 7US). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Sold February 2019 for £207,500. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2002–2019, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £268,000 is 29.2% above the 2019 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£301/sq ft) was about 44.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 64 m² it's 20.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (81 m² median across 22 EPCs).
