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 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.
