How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 Cobden Street is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL1 8BE. 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.

About 3 Cobden Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Cobden Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bolton (BL1 8BE). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2001–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £124,000 sits 65.3% above the 2016 sale of £75,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£158/sq ft) was about 30.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in January 2016, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. At 44 m² it's 27.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (61 m² median across 22 EPCs).

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 3 Cobden Street is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL1 8BE. 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 3 Cobden Street. 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 3 Cobden Street was lodged in June 2014 at band D and expired in June 2024, 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. 1 application is matched to 3 Cobden Street. 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 38 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL1 8BE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Cobden Street is in council tax band A. 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.
