About 4 Rushmere Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Rushmere Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bury (BL8 1DW). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (September 2023) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in April 2010 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility.
Across 2010–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £271,000 sits 57.7% above the 2016 sale of £171,800. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 96 m² it's 15.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (83 m² median across 11 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 82% of similar EPCs). Last sold in September 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 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 4 Rushmere Drive is modelled from its 96 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL8 1DW. 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 4 Rushmere 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 4 Rushmere Drive was lodged in September 2023 at band C and is valid until September 2033. 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 4 Rushmere 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 1DW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 4 Rushmere 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.
