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.
