Overview

About 34 Castle Road

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

34 Castle Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Bury (BL9 8JL). It has a recorded floor area of 197 m² (around 2115 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2010) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from June 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and attached land beyond the plot.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 34 Castle Road is modelled from its 197 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL9 8JL. 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 34 Castle Road. 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 34 Castle Road was lodged in June 2010 at band D and expired in June 2020, 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. 3 applications are matched to 34 Castle Road. 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 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL9 8JL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
34 Castle Road is in council tax band F. 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.
