Overview

About 5 Capitol Close

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

5 Capitol Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Bolton (BL1 6LU). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1725 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since January 2008 — 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 160 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 1996–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £379,000 is 35.4% above the 2008 sale price.

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 5 Capitol Close is modelled from its 160 m² EPC floor area, its 3 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. 3 sales are recorded for 5 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 5 Capitol Close was lodged in August 2009 at band C and expired in August 2019, 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 5 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
5 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.
