Overview

About 17 Derwent Drive

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

17 Derwent Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Kearsley, Bolton, Bolton (BL4 8PP). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 119), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in January 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £211,000 sits 93.6% above the 2009 sale of £109,000. At 54 m² it sits well below the postcode median (91 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
