How the estimate is made

About 68 Seymour Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
68 Seymour Road is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bolton (BL1 8PT). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 1995–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £240,000 sits 65.5% above the 2017 sale of £145,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 117 m² it's 16.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (101 m² median across 24 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). 4 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. On the market in July 2017 and unlisted since — roughly 9 years.

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 68 Seymour Road is modelled from its 117 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL1 8PT. 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 68 Seymour Road. 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 68 Seymour Road was lodged in November 2013 at band E and expired in November 2023, 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 68 Seymour Road. 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 41 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL1 8PT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 68 Seymour Road is in council tax band B. 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.
