How the estimate is made
The estimate for 26a is modelled from its 93 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL1 6HE. 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.

About 26a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
26a is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bolton (BL1 6HE). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2018 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.
Across 2018–2020, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £177,000 sits 71.8% above the 2020 sale of £103,000. Sold October 2020 for £103,000.

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 26a is modelled from its 93 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL1 6HE. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 26a. 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 26a was lodged in April 2026 at band D and is valid until April 2036. 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 26a. 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 39 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL1 6HE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 26a 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.
