About 17 The Arches

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

17 The Arches is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bolton (BL1 1ES). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2023) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since February 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Poor to Average. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 66 m² the property is well over the postcode median (45 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at -1.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £133,000 is 41.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£132/sq ft) was about 16.7% below the postcode norm.
