About 1 Brook Dene
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Brook Dene is an end-of-terrace house in Bolton (BL1 4LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 534 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 50 m² this is the 5th smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–53 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 50 m² it sits well below the postcode median (123 m² across 45 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 84% of similar EPCs).

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 1 Brook Dene is modelled from its 50 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL1 4LJ. 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 1 Brook Dene. 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 1 Brook Dene was lodged in June 2009 at band C and expired in June 2019, 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 1 Brook Dene. 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 52 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL1 4LJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Brook Dene 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.
