About 8 Alfred Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Alfred Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Farnworth, Bolton, Bolton (BL4 7JT). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £151,000 sits 978.6% above the 2000 sale of £14,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£13/sq ft) was about 72.2% below the postcode norm.
