About 188b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
188b is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Stockport (SK3 0NW). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2014. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 45 m² this is the 14th smallest of 20 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 33–339 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 20 units on file.
Across 2006–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 0.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £143,000 is 23.3% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£239/sq ft) was about 31.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in February 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

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 188b is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SK3 0NW. 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 188b. 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 188b was lodged in May 2016 at band D and expired in May 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 188b. 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 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SK3 0NW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 188b is in council tax band A. 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.
