Overview

About 20 Cromer Avenue

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

20 Cromer Avenue is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bolton (BL2 2RB). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (August 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £127,000 sits 54.9% above the 2008 sale of £82,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£117/sq ft) was about 29.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
