Overview

About 76 Central Avenue

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

76 Central Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Farnworth, Bolton, Bolton (BL4 0BA). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2001–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £156,000 sits 88% above the 2015 sale of £83,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£89/sq ft) was about 23.9% below the postcode norm. Last sold in June 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2025. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs).
