Overview

About 12 Helmshore Road

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

12 Helmshore Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Holcombe, Bury, Bury (BL8 4PA). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Across 2003–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £272,000 is 47.8% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£216/sq ft) was about 19.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

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 12 Helmshore Road is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL8 4PA. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 12 Helmshore Road. 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 12 Helmshore Road was lodged in July 2014 at band D and expired in July 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 12 Helmshore Road. 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 12 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL8 4PA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12 Helmshore Road is in council tax band C. 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.
