Overview

About 1 Highfield Road

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

1 Highfield Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Farnworth, Bolton, Bolton (BL4 0AE). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 410 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1997–2001, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £151,000 sits 278% above the 2001 sale of £39,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£97/sq ft) was about 22.4% below the postcode norm. At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (87 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs).
