Ivy Bank, 100 Castle Street, Bolton, BL2 1JL
About Ivy Bank
Ivy Bank is a semi-detached house in Bolton (BL2 1JL). It has a recorded floor area of 256 m² (around 2756 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2023) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2015 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78).
It hasn't traded since April 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 256 m² the property is well over the postcode median (24 m² across 35 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £287,000 sits 64% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£64/sq ft) was about 59.6% below the postcode norm.
