About 2 Elm Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Elm Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Kearsley, Bolton, Bolton (BL4 8LL). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2010); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 74 m² it's 17.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (63 m² median across 11 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £163,000 sits 117.3% above the 2015 sale of £75,000. Last sold in December 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

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 2 Elm Road is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL4 8LL. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 2 Elm 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 2 Elm Road was lodged in July 2013 at band F and expired in July 2023, 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 2 Elm 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 38 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL4 8LL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Elm Road 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.
