174 Lowndes Lane, Stockport, SK2 6DB

174 Lowndes Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Stockport (SK2 6DB). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since July 2015. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 86 m² the property is well over the postcode median (65 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2006–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £296,000 sits 79.4% above the 2015 sale of £165,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2023. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in October 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
