Overview

About Moss Bank House

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

Moss Bank House is an end-of-terrace house in Bolton (BL1 6LU). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1991-1995. At 99 m² this is the 7th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in Moss Bank House, where floor areas span 47–159 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 8 units on file. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since December 2008. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since December 2008 — that's 18 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 99 m² it's 22% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (127 m² median across 30 EPCs). Across 1995–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £214,000 is 33.7% above the 2008 sale price.

How to read this page

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Moss Bank House is modelled from its 99 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 Moss Bank House. 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 Moss Bank House was lodged in August 2013 at band C and expired in August 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 Moss Bank House. 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.
