Overview

About 3 Helmshore Road

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

3 Helmshore Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Holcombe, Bury, Bury (BL8 4PA). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 86 m² it's 17.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (73 m² median across 5 EPCs). Across 2013–2020, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £292,000 is 27% above the 2020 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£248/sq ft) was about 36.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold March 2020 for £230,000.

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 3 Helmshore Road is modelled from its 86 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 3 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 3 Helmshore Road was lodged in July 2013 at band D and expired in July 2023, 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. 3 applications are matched to 3 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
3 Helmshore Road is in council tax band B. 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.
