Overview

About 18 Finch Avenue

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

18 Finch Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Farnworth, Bolton, Bolton (BL4 0QS). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in February 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £146,000 is 11.4% below the 2023 sale of £164,750, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£146/sq ft) was about 60.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 105 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Most recent transfer: December 2023 at £164,750.

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 Finch Avenue is modelled from its 105 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL4 0QS. 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 Finch 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 18 Finch Avenue was lodged in January 2016 at band D and expired in January 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 18 Finch 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 43 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL4 0QS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
18 Finch 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.
