About 5 Dorset Street
5 Dorset Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bolton (BL2 1HP). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 647 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.
