5 Blackford Avenue, Bury, BL9 9TE
About 5 Blackford Avenue
5 Blackford Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bury (BL9 9TE). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since December 1997 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £224,000 sits 284.9% above the 1997 sale of £58,200. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£67/sq ft) was about 53.9% below the postcode norm.
