About 1 Ash Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Ash Cottages is a three-bedroom detached house in Bury (BL8 1EZ). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 1995–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £323,000 sits 55.7% above the 2014 sale of £207,500. Last sold in August 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

- 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 1 Ash Cottages. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

The latest one for 1 Ash Cottages was lodged in January 2014 at band E and expired in January 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let.
