Overview

About 17 Portinscale Close

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

17 Portinscale Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Bury (BL8 1DB). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (July 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Last sold in September 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. Across 1998–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £403,000 is 42.9% above the 2014 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2013.

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 17 Portinscale Close is modelled from its 126 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL8 1DB. 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 17 Portinscale Close. 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 17 Portinscale Close was lodged in October 2015 at band D and expired in October 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 17 Portinscale Close. 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 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL8 1DB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
17 Portinscale Close 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.
