About 7 Woodbank Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
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. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
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.

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 7 Woodbank Drive is modelled from its 54 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL8 1DR. 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 7 Woodbank Drive. 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 7 Woodbank Drive was lodged in January 2011 at band D and expired in January 2021, 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 7 Woodbank Drive. 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 1DR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 7 Woodbank Drive 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.
