About 7 Chaucer Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
7 Chaucer Street is a five-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bolton (BL1 3HR). It has a recorded floor area of 146 m² (around 1572 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band A. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84).
Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in January 2000. At 146 m² the property is well over the postcode median (56 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £226,000 sits 465.1% above the 2000 sale of £39,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£25/sq ft) was about 72.6% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 7 Chaucer Street is modelled from its 146 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL1 3HR. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 7 Chaucer Street. 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 7 Chaucer Street was lodged in November 2025 at band C and is valid until November 2035. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 11 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 43 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL1 3HR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 7 Chaucer Street 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.
