81 Shaw Heath, Stockport, SK2 6QP

81 Shaw Heath is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Stockport (SK2 6QP). It has a recorded floor area of 186 m² (around 2002 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since July 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 2002, a hold of 24 years that's notably long for the area. At 186 m² the property is well over the postcode median (40 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £299,000 sits 298.7% above the 2002 sale of £75,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£37/sq ft) was about 69.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
