About 1 Elsham Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Elsham Close is a two-bedroom detached house in Bolton (BL1 7BL). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2014); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £271,000 is 41.1% above the 2024 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£190/sq ft) was about 52.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2005. Sold March 2024 for £192,000.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Elsham Close is modelled from its 94 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL1 7BL. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Elsham 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 Elsham Close was lodged in October 2014 at band F and expired in October 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 5 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Elsham 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 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL1 7BL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Elsham Close is in council tax band D. 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.
