About Flat

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

Flat is an end-of-terrace house in Bolton (BL1 8HE). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 104 m² this is the 8th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 23–127 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a C (score 70). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 104 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 70% of similar EPCs). Last sold in December 2015, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Across 2003–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £145,000 is 12% above the 2015 sale price.
