About 5 Alnwick Drive
5 Alnwick Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bury (BL9 8BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (May 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 1995–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £245,000 sits 53.1% above the 2016 sale of £160,000. At 71 m² it sits well below the postcode median (110 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in July 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Across the public record there are 7 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
