About 7 Woodbank Drive
7 Woodbank Drive is a two-bedroom detached house in Bury (BL8 1DR). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 579 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2011) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from January 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2010–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £263,000 sits 52.9% above the 2015 sale of £172,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£297/sq ft) was about 141.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 54 m² it sits well below the postcode median (92 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in February 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
