3 Baron Walk is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Little Lever, Bolton, Bolton (BL3 1LD). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in January 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 98), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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. At 129 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £261,000 sits 60.6% above the 2008 sale of £162,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£117/sq ft) was about 35.2% below the postcode norm.
