Overview

About 5 Avon Drive

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

5 Avon Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Bury (BL9 6SN). It has a recorded floor area of 188 m² (around 2024 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating 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 December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 188 m² the property is well over the postcode median (106 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
