Overview

About 26 Highfield Road

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

26 Highfield Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Farnworth, Bolton, Bolton (BL4 0AD). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2023) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a balcony and a loft.

It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £152,000 sits 143.2% above the 2009 sale of £62,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£60/sq ft) was about 24% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 96 m² it's 21.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (79 m² median across 21 EPCs).
