About 7 Essex Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
7 Essex Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Stockport (SK3 0JA). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2015) returns a B (score 83), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in October 2013 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 55 m² the property is well over the postcode median (42 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 70% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £134,000 sits 235% above the 2000 sale of £40,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£68/sq ft) was about 60.8% below the postcode norm.
