About 8 Bower Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Bower Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Stockport (SK5 6NW). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2017) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.
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. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £190,000 sits 84.5% above the 2007 sale of £103,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£135/sq ft) was about 39.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
