How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Capitol Close is modelled from its 161 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL1 6LU. 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 1 Capitol Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Capitol Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Bolton (BL1 6LU). It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1731 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2010) shows a C (score 72). The latest certificate is from May 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since April 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 161 m² the property is well over the postcode median (118 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 24.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £428,000 is 22.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£202/sq ft) was about 33.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 1 Capitol Close is modelled from its 161 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL1 6LU. 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 1 Capitol Close. 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 Capitol Close was lodged in May 2010 at band C and expired in May 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 1 Capitol Close. 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 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL1 6LU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Capitol Close is in council tax band E. 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.
