Overview

About 42 Brook Gardens

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

42 Brook Gardens is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bolton (BL2 3JD). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since February 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Sold January 2020 for £175,000. Across the public record there are 7 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1999–2020, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £239,000 is 36.6% above the 2020 sale price.

Method

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 42 Brook Gardens is modelled from its 73 m² EPC floor area, its 7 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL2 3JD. 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. 7 sales are recorded for 42 Brook Gardens. 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 42 Brook Gardens was lodged in March 2015 at band D and expired in March 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 42 Brook Gardens. 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 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL2 3JD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
42 Brook Gardens 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.
