How the estimate is made
The estimate for 38 Bradford Street is modelled from its 205 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL2 1JJ. 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 38 Bradford Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
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 £210,000 sits 82.6% 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.

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 38 Bradford Street is modelled from its 205 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL2 1JJ. 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 38 Bradford 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 38 Bradford Street was lodged in April 2015 at band E and expired in April 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 38 Bradford Street. 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 50 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL2 1JJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 38 Bradford Street is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
