Overview

About 7 Albert Grove

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

7 Albert Grove is a semi-detached house in Farnworth, Bolton, Bolton (BL4 9ED). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (February 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 83 m² it's 16.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (71 m² median across 7 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £200,000 is 33.3% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£168/sq ft) was about 60.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £150,000 in September 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 7 Albert Grove is modelled from its 83 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL4 9ED. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 7 Albert 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 7 Albert Grove was lodged in January 2015 at band E and expired in January 2025, 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 7 Albert 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 45 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL4 9ED, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 Albert Grove is in council tax band B. 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.
