About 38 Bradford Street
38 Bradford Street is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Bolton (BL2 1JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 205 m² (around 2207 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in July 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 205 m² the property is well over the postcode median (33 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £186,000 sits 61.7% above the 2013 sale of £115,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£52/sq ft) was about 94.4% below the postcode norm. Last sold in March 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
