About 30 Castle Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
30 Castle Street is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bolton (BL2 1AE). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 488 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 45 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (45–138 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in February 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £128,000 sits 456.5% above the 1998 sale of £23,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£47/sq ft) was about 41.4% below the postcode norm. At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (104 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.

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 30 Castle Street is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL2 1AE. 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 30 Castle Street. 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 30 Castle Street was lodged in May 2011 at band D and expired in May 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
