About 11 Merton Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
11 Merton Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bury (BL8 1AW). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1424 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in February 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (76 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 21.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £186,000 sits 55.6% above the 2007 sale of £119,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£84/sq ft) was about 21.7% below the postcode norm.

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 11 Merton Street is modelled from its 132 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL8 1AW. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 11 Merton Street. 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 11 Merton Street was lodged in May 2009 at band D and expired in May 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 11 Merton Street. 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 8 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL8 1AW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 11 Merton Street is in council tax band A. 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.
