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 £754,000 is 21.6% 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.

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 12 Links Drive is modelled from its 222 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL6 4AE. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 12 Links Drive. 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 12 Links Drive was lodged in April 2014 at band D and expired in April 2024, 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. 1 application is matched to 12 Links Drive. 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL6 4AE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12 Links Drive is in council tax band G. 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.
