Overview

About 8 Forbes Street

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

8 Forbes Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bredbury, Stockport, Stockport (SK6 2NP). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £202,000 sits 621.4% above the 1996 sale of £28,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£38/sq ft) was about 73.4% below the postcode norm.
