Uplands Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Wilmslow (SK9 1QQ). It has a recorded floor area of 275 m² (around 2960 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 275 m² the property is well over the postcode median (168 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £1,053,000 is 44.2% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£247/sq ft) was about 28.2% below the postcode norm.
