About 3 Breckland Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Breckland Drive is a detached house in Bolton (BL1 5BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 175 m² (around 1884 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86).

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 3 Breckland Drive is modelled from its 175 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL1 5BQ. 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 3 Breckland Drive. 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 3 Breckland Drive was lodged in December 2015 at band C and expired in December 2025, 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 3 Breckland Drive. 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 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL1 5BQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Breckland Drive is in council tax band G. 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.
