How the estimate is made
The estimate for 12a is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL1 8RT. 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 12a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
12a is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bolton (BL1 8RT). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 704 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. At 65 m² this is the 92nd smallest of 100 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 29–68 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 2007–2019, sale prices on this property compounded at -3.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £105,000 is 33.8% above the 2019 sale price. Most recent transfer: May 2019 at £78,500.

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 12a is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL1 8RT. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 12a. 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 12a was lodged in November 2010 at band D and expired in November 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 12a. 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 44 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL1 8RT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 12a 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.
