About 5 Church Road
5 Church Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bolton (BL1 6HE). It has a recorded floor area of 146 m² (around 1572 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2020) shows an F (score 22), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
At 146 m² the property is well over the postcode median (97 m² across 34 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2024. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2020–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 117.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £149,000 is 13.7% above the 2021 sale price. Most recent transfer: December 2021 at £131,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
