Overview

About 24 First Avenue

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

24 First Avenue is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Tottington, Bury, Bury (BL8 3JA). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 2008, a hold of 18 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. Today's modelled estimate of £285,000 is 45.4% above the 2008 sale price.
