About 9 The Arches
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
9 The Arches is a one-bedroom detached house in Bolton (BL1 1ES). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 488 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band A. At 45 m² this is the 9th smallest of 18 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–66 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (48 versus a best of 85). The latest certificate (November 2010) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 55). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 9 The Arches is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL1 1ES. 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 9 The Arches. 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 9 The Arches was lodged in November 2010 at band E and expired in November 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 9 The Arches. 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 11 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 50 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL1 1ES, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 9 The Arches 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.
