Overview

About 3 Buckley Lane

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

3 Buckley Lane is a semi-detached house in Farnworth, Bolton, Bolton (BL4 9PF). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2014. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2007 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 97 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £188,000 sits 79% above the 2007 sale of £105,000.

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 3 Buckley Lane is modelled from its 97 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL4 9PF. 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 3 Buckley Lane. 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 3 Buckley Lane was lodged in July 2014 at band D and expired in July 2024, 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 3 Buckley Lane. 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 43 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL4 9PF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Buckley Lane 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.
