Overview

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 (102 m² across 31 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 74% of similar EPCs).
