About 21 Birley Street
21 Birley Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace 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 A. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since April 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £149,000 sits 71.3% above the 2008 sale of £87,000.
