How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2a is modelled from its 28 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL2 1AJ. 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 2a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2a is an end-of-terrace house in Bolton (BL2 1AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 28 m² (around 301 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 28 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (28–131 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (33 versus a best of 76). The latest certificate (November 2010) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 55), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 28 m² it sits well below the postcode median (80 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement.

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 2a is modelled from its 28 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL2 1AJ. 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. No sale is recorded for 2a, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 2a was lodged in November 2010 at band F 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 2a. 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 46 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL2 1AJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
