About 8 Crosby Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Crosby Road is a mid-terrace house in Bolton (BL1 4EL). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 539 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since November 1996 — that's 30 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 £112,000 sits 558.8% above the 1996 sale of £17,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£32/sq ft) was about 60.2% below the postcode norm.

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 8 Crosby Road is modelled from its 50 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL1 4EL. 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 8 Crosby 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 8 Crosby Road was lodged in December 2008 at band D and expired in December 2018, 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 8 Crosby 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 11 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 41 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL1 4EL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Crosby 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.
