About Castle Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Castle Court is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bolton (BL2 1AD). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 429 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band A. At 40 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 10 units on EPC record in Castle Court, where floor areas span 40–46 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in March 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £99,000 sits 80% above the 2007 sale of £55,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£128/sq ft) was about 102.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (103 m² across 32 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 72% of similar EPCs).

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 Castle Court is modelled from its 40 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL2 1AD. 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 Castle Court. 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 Castle Court was lodged in July 2011 at band C and expired in July 2021, 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 Castle Court. 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 9 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 47 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL2 1AD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Castle Court 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.
