Overview

About 12 Birley Street

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

12 Birley Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bury (BL9 5DT). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2015. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Today's modelled estimate of £234,000 sits 87.2% above the 2016 sale of £125,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£138/sq ft) was about 51.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in August 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
