Overview

About 26 Knowsley Road

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

26 Knowsley Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Ainsworth, Bolton, Bolton (BL2 5PZ). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £305,000 sits 80.5% above the 2016 sale of £169,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£160/sq ft) was about 38.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). Last sold in April 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
