Overview

About 16 Dorset Avenue

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

16 Dorset Avenue is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Stockport (SK5 8DU). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since November 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £203,000 is 12.8% above the 2023 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£204/sq ft) was about 75% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: September 2023 at £180,000.
