Overview

About Browsholme House

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

Browsholme House is a one-bedroom detached house in Bolton (BL1 4RF). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 504 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. At 47 m² this is the 7th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in Browsholme House, where floor areas span 27–52 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (48 versus a best of 79). The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £103,000 sits 148.2% above the 2015 sale of £41,500. Last changed hands 12 years ago, in February 2015.

Method

How to read this page

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 Browsholme House is modelled from its 47 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL1 4RF. 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 Browsholme House. 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 Browsholme House was lodged in March 2010 at band E and expired in March 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 Browsholme House. 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 4RF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Browsholme House 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.
