About 3 Ashwood Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Ashwood Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bury (BL8 1HF). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £178,000 sits 61.8% above the 2016 sale of £110,000. On the market in January 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 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 3 Ashwood Drive is modelled from its 64 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL8 1HF. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 3 Ashwood 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 3 Ashwood Drive was lodged in December 2014 at band D and expired in December 2024, 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. None is matched to 3 Ashwood 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL8 1HF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Ashwood Drive is in council tax band B. 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.
