About 181 Walmersley Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
181 Walmersley Road is a mid-terrace house in Bury (BL9 5DF). It has a recorded floor area of 234 m² (around 2519 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since September 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 234 m² the property is well over the postcode median (85 m² across 35 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £289,000 sits 660.5% above the 1996 sale of £38,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£15/sq ft) was about 81.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2025. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 181 Walmersley Road is modelled from its 234 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL9 5DF. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 181 Walmersley 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 181 Walmersley Road was lodged in March 2015 at band D and expired in March 2025, 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. 1 application is matched to 181 Walmersley 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 11 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL9 5DF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 181 Walmersley 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.
