About 44 Balmoral Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
44 Balmoral Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Farnworth, Bolton, Bolton (BL4 9HR). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (August 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
Sold March 2022 for £113,000. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. At 79 m² it's 25.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (63 m² median across 41 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £142,000 is 25.7% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£133/sq ft) was about 52.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 44 Balmoral Road is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL4 9HR. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 44 Balmoral 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 44 Balmoral Road was lodged in November 2012 at band D and expired in November 2022, 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 44 Balmoral 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 44 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL4 9HR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 44 Balmoral 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.
