About 5 Birchfield Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Birchfield Avenue is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bury (BL9 7JF). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 90). The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 84% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £172,000 is 47% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£167/sq ft) was about 48.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in January 2018, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 5 Birchfield Avenue is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL9 7JF. 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 5 Birchfield Avenue. 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 5 Birchfield Avenue was lodged in May 2014 at band C and expired in May 2024, 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. None is matched to 5 Birchfield Avenue. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL9 7JF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Birchfield Avenue is in council tax band A. 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.
