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.
