23 Aldersgate Road, Stockport, SK2 6DE

23 Aldersgate Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Stockport (SK2 6DE). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 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. Today's modelled estimate of £348,000 sits 93.3% above the 2007 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£135/sq ft) was about 19.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 124 m² it's 18% larger than the typical home in the postcode (105 m² median across 21 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs).
