How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SK5 6AE. 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.

About Flat
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat is a semi-detached house in Stockport (SK5 6AE). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 663 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2011) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 34). Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from November 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since April 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2003–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at -21% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £133,000 sits 209.3% above the 2006 sale of £43,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£65/sq ft) was about 65% below the postcode norm.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Flat is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SK5 6AE. 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 Flat. 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 Flat was lodged in November 2011 at band G and expired in November 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Flat. 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 1 month, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 35 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SK5 6AE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 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.
