Overview

About 2a

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

2a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Farnworth, Bolton, Bolton (BL4 0HQ). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since October 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Held since January 2008 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £184,000 sits 73.6% above the 2008 sale of £106,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£170/sq ft) was about 71.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
