Overview

About 4 Beech Close

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

4 Beech Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bolton (BL2 3EB). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2021) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (April 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 99 m² the property is well over the postcode median (57 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2010–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at -9.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £239,000 sits 378% above the 2021 sale of £50,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£47/sq ft) was about 82.5% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Sold April 2021 for £50,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Beech Close is modelled from its 99 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL2 3EB. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 4 Beech Close. 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 4 Beech Close was lodged in March 2021 at band D and is valid until March 2031. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 4 Beech Close. 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL2 3EB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Beech Close is in council tax band C. 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.
