About 7 Elder Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
7 Elder Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Stockport (SK2 5AW). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a loft. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since December 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1998–2000, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £281,000 sits 244.8% above the 2000 sale of £81,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£120/sq ft) was about 18.4% below the postcode norm. At 63 m² it's 23.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 10 EPCs).

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 7 Elder Close is modelled from its 63 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SK2 5AW. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 7 Elder Close. 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 7 Elder Close was lodged in October 2015 at band D and expired in October 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 7 Elder Close. 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 8 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SK2 5AW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 7 Elder Close is in council tax band C. 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.
