About 55a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
55a is a semi-detached house in Marple Bridge, Stockport, Stockport (SK6 5DU). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 693 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1991-1995. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from January 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £266,000 sits 343.3% above the 1995 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£87/sq ft) was about 59.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2025. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
