About 20 Cottam Street
20 Cottam Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bury (BL8 1LQ). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 551 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 29.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £141,000 sits 76.3% above the 2007 sale of £80,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£145/sq ft) was about 55.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (76 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
