Overview

About 16 Birkett Drive

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

16 Birkett Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Bolton (BL1 7DE). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good, lighting went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.

At 140 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On the market in February 2017 and unlisted since — roughly 9 years. Across 2015–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £390,000 is 40.8% above the 2017 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 16 Birkett Drive is modelled from its 140 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL1 7DE. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 16 Birkett Drive. 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 16 Birkett Drive was lodged in August 2016 at band D and expired in August 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 16 Birkett Drive. 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL1 7DE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
16 Birkett Drive 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.
