Overview

About 1 Chiltern Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

1 Chiltern Drive is a five-bedroom detached house in Bury (BL8 1QY). It has a recorded floor area of 189 m² (around 2034 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a C (score 72). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since May 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Held since December 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 189 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £445,000 sits 187.1% above the 2007 sale of £155,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£76/sq ft) was about 60.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Chiltern Drive is modelled from its 189 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL8 1QY. 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 1 Chiltern 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 1 Chiltern Drive was lodged in July 2026 at band C and is valid until July 2036. 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 1 Chiltern 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 1QY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Chiltern Drive is in council tax band F. 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.
