Overview

About 18 Bradford Park Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

18 Bradford Park Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bolton (BL2 1PA). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2019) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.

Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £200,000 sits 73.9% above the 2009 sale of £115,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£111/sq ft) was about 23.8% below the postcode norm. At 96 m² it's 17.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 30 EPCs).
