Overview

About 1 Dorset Avenue

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

1 Dorset Avenue is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Stockport (SK5 8DU). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in June 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 90% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £305,000 is 25% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£270/sq ft) was about 131.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: February 2022 at £244,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
