Overview

About 31 Central Avenue

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

31 Central Avenue is a semi-detached house in Farnworth, Bolton, Bolton (BL4 0AU). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £149,000 sits 272.5% above the 2017 sale of £40,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£40/sq ft) was about 61.5% below the postcode norm. Last sold in April 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 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 31 Central Avenue is modelled from its 93 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL4 0AU. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 31 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 31 Central Avenue was lodged in March 2016 at band D and expired in March 2026, 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. None is matched to 31 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 46 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL4 0AU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
31 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.
