About 5 Austen Avenue
5 Austen Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bury (BL9 9RH). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (December 2013); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £153,000 is 45.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£134/sq ft) was about 21.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
