About 167 Walmersley Road
167 Walmersley Road is a mid-terrace house in Bury (BL9 5DE). It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1733 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in September 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in January 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 161 m² the property is well over the postcode median (55 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £235,000 sits 95.8% above the 2008 sale of £120,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£69/sq ft) was about 116.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
