About 238 Bolton Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
238 Bolton Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB2 4HU). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Held since June 2002 — that's 24 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £120,000 sits 321.1% above the 2002 sale of £28,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£38/sq ft) was about 35% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019.

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 238 Bolton Road is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB2 4HU. 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 238 Bolton 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 238 Bolton Road was lodged in February 2026 at band D and is valid until February 2036. 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 238 Bolton 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 40 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB2 4HU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 238 Bolton Road is in council tax band A. 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.
