About 8 Ashbourne Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Ashbourne Avenue is a detached house in Bolton (BL2 1LS). It has a recorded floor area of 193 m² (around 2077 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. At 193 m² the property is well over the postcode median (125 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £364,000 sits 206% above the 2001 sale of £118,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£57/sq ft) was about 50.2% below the postcode norm.

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 8 Ashbourne Avenue is modelled from its 193 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL2 1LS. 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 8 Ashbourne Avenue. 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 8 Ashbourne Avenue was lodged in October 2014 at band E and expired in October 2024, 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. 1 application is matched to 8 Ashbourne Avenue. 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 51 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL2 1LS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Ashbourne Avenue is in council tax band E. 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.
