Overview

About 5 Kensington Close

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

5 Kensington Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Greenmount, Bury, Bury (BL8 4DG). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 71 m² it sits well below the postcode median (135 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2014–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £347,000 is 38.8% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£327/sq ft) was about 108.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
