About 42 Castle Street
42 Castle Street is a mid-terrace house in Bolton (BL2 1AE). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £166,000 is 44.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£110/sq ft) was about 38.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
