Overview

About 12 Links Drive

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

12 Links Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Lostock, Bolton, Bolton (BL6 4AE). It has a recorded floor area of 222 m² (around 2390 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 222 m² it sits well below the postcode median (433 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2006–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £739,000 is 19.2% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£259/sq ft) was about 93.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in June 2015.
