About 6 Albany Drive
6 Albany Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Bury (BL9 9RD). It has a recorded floor area of 239 m² (around 2573 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in March 2011 the rating was G, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 239 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 89% of similar EPCs). 6 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 1 refused.
