Overview

About 83 Highfield Road

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

83 Highfield Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Farnworth, Bolton, Bolton (BL4 0AL). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 885 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 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. Today's modelled estimate of £166,000 sits 88.6% above the 2007 sale of £88,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£99/sq ft) was about 77% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 83 Highfield Road is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL4 0AL. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 83 Highfield Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 83 Highfield Road was lodged in February 2009 at band D and expired in February 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 83 Highfield Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 4 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 44 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL4 0AL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
83 Highfield Road is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
