Overview

About Moss Bank House

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

Moss Bank House is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Bolton (BL1 6LU). It has a recorded floor area of 159 m² (around 1711 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1991-1995. At 159 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across Moss Bank House (47–159 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (81 versus a worst of 55). The home occupies a corner plot. The latest certificate (September 2012) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in September 2011 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The latest certificate is from September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 159 m² the property is well over the postcode median (118 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £228,000 sits 57.2% above the 2016 sale of £145,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£85/sq ft) was about 44% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2009. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in August 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is 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.
