About 5 Alnwick Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
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.

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 Alnwick Drive is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 7 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL9 8BZ. 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. 7 sales are recorded for 5 Alnwick Drive. 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 Alnwick Drive was lodged in February 2016 at band D and expired in February 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 5 Alnwick Drive. 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 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL9 8BZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Alnwick Drive is in council tax band C. 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.
