About 1 Brinksway

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

1 Brinksway is a four-bedroom detached house in Bolton (BL1 5XG). It has a recorded floor area of 146 m² (around 1572 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor.

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 1 Brinksway is modelled from its 146 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL1 5XG. 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 Brinksway. 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 Brinksway was lodged in August 2014 at band E and expired in August 2024, 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. None is matched to 1 Brinksway. 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL1 5XG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Brinksway is in council tax band F. 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.
