Overview

About 8 Ellen Grove

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

8 Ellen Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Kearsley, Bolton, Bolton (BL4 8RQ). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2010) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2006–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at -1.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £242,000 sits 64.6% above the 2012 sale of £147,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£124/sq ft) was about 25.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2024. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in April 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

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 8 Ellen Grove is modelled from its 110 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL4 8RQ. 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 8 Ellen Grove. 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 8 Ellen Grove was lodged in December 2010 at band E and expired in December 2020, 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. 1 application is matched to 8 Ellen Grove. 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL4 8RQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Ellen Grove is in council tax band C. 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.
