Overview

About 8 Buckley Square

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

8 Buckley Square is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Farnworth, Bolton, Bolton (BL4 9NB). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a loft.

At 113 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2002–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £170,000 sits 80.9% above the 2016 sale of £94,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£77/sq ft) was about 25.3% below the postcode norm. Last sold in January 2016, so it's been off the market for around 11 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 Buckley Square is modelled from its 113 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL4 9NB. 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 8 Buckley Square. 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 Buckley Square was lodged in February 2013 at band D and expired in February 2023, 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. None is matched to 8 Buckley Square. 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 41 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL4 9NB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Buckley Square 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.
