Overview

About 9 Central Avenue

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

9 Central Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Farnworth, Bolton, Bolton (BL4 0AR). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since April 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £157,000 sits 101.3% above the 2014 sale of £78,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£81/sq ft) was about 22.2% below the postcode norm. Last sold in November 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

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 9 Central Avenue is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL4 0AR. 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 9 Central Avenue. 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 9 Central Avenue was lodged in February 2016 at band D and expired in February 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 9 Central Avenue. 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 45 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL4 0AR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
9 Central Avenue is in council tax band A. 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.
