Overview

About 18 Birley Street

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

18 Birley Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bolton (BL1 8PH). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since January 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 68 m² it's 28.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (53 m² median across 8 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
