Overview

About 14 Helmshore Road

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

14 Helmshore Road is a mid-terrace house in Holcombe, Bury, Bury (BL8 4PA). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 843 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59). The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £238,000 sits 54.5% above the 2009 sale of £154,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).

Method

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 14 Helmshore Road is modelled from its 78 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 14 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 14 Helmshore Road was lodged in December 2008 at band E and expired in December 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 14 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
14 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.
