Overview

About Woodhill Cottage

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

Woodhill Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Bury (BL8 1BB). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 122 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2007–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £365,000 is 49% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£187/sq ft) was about 55% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Woodhill Cottage is modelled from its 122 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL8 1BB. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Woodhill Cottage. 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 Woodhill Cottage was lodged in April 2013 at band E and expired in April 2023, 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. 1 application is matched to Woodhill Cottage. 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 1BB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Woodhill Cottage is in council tax band C. 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.
