About 22 Darley Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
22 Darley Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Farnworth, Bolton, Bolton (BL4 7RU). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1088 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £149,000 sits 65.6% above the 2009 sale of £90,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£83/sq ft) was about 21.6% below the postcode norm. At 101 m² it's 21.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (84 m² median across 20 EPCs).

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 22 Darley Avenue is modelled from its 101 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL4 7RU. 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 22 Darley 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 22 Darley Avenue was lodged in May 2009 at band D and expired in May 2019, 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. None is matched to 22 Darley 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 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL4 7RU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 22 Darley 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.
