About 132 134
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
132 134 is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bolton (BL1 8DW). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. At 40 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in 132 134, where floor areas span 32–50 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (58 versus a best of 78). Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since September 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Poor. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £112,000 sits 833.3% above the 1999 sale of £12,000. At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (92 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused.

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 132 134 is modelled from its 40 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL1 8DW. 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 132 134. 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 132 134 was lodged in November 2010 at band D and expired in November 2020, 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. 3 applications are matched to 132 134. 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 47 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL1 8DW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 132 134 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.
