About 22 Higher Market Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
22 Higher Market Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Farnworth, Bolton, Bolton (BL4 9AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 58 m² this is the 8th smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–115 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 16 units on file.
It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.5% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£206/sq ft) was about 190.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
