How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Dorset Avenue is modelled from its 84 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SK5 8DU. 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 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.
On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 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. Today's modelled estimate of £286,000 is 17.2% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£270/sq ft) was about 118.1% 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.

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 1 Dorset Avenue is modelled from its 84 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SK5 8DU. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Dorset Avenue. 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 1 Dorset Avenue was lodged in August 2014 at band E and expired in August 2024, 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. 1 application is matched to 1 Dorset Avenue. 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 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SK5 8DU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Dorset Avenue 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.
