About 14 Lower Fold
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
14 Lower Fold is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Marple Bridge, Stockport, Stockport (SK6 5DX). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2018) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Other recorded features include notable views, outbuildings and a basement. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since May 2001, a hold of 25 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.

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 14 Lower Fold is modelled from its 141 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SK6 5DX. 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 14 Lower Fold. 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 14 Lower Fold was lodged in April 2018 at band D and is valid until April 2028. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 14 Lower Fold. 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 9 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SK6 5DX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 14 Lower Fold is in council tax band E. 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.
