Overview

About 18 Briarfield Road

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

18 Briarfield Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Farnworth, Bolton, Bolton (BL4 0HD). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a C (score 72). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87). The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £187,000 sits 96.8% above the 2014 sale of £95,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 65 m² it's 17.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (79 m² median across 22 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 82% of similar EPCs). On the market in October 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 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 18 Briarfield Road is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL4 0HD. 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 18 Briarfield 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 18 Briarfield Road was lodged in July 2014 at band C and expired in July 2024, 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 18 Briarfield 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 49 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL4 0HD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
18 Briarfield 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.
