Overview

About 39 Fifth Avenue

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

39 Fifth Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bolton (BL1 4LX). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Across 1996–2019, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £240,000 sits 50% above the 2019 sale of £160,000. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2006. Most recent transfer: March 2019 at £160,000.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 39 Fifth Avenue is modelled from its 96 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL1 4LX. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 39 Fifth Avenue. 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 39 Fifth Avenue was lodged in November 2013 at band D and expired in November 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 39 Fifth Avenue. 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 47 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL1 4LX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
39 Fifth Avenue is in council tax band D. 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.
