Overview

About 8 Watling Street

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

8 Watling Street is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Affetside, Bury, Bury (BL8 3QS). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 2004, a hold of 22 years that's notably long for the area. At 56 m² it sits well below the postcode median (99 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1995–2004, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £185,000 is 47.4% above the 2004 sale price.
