Wanstead, Lostock Lane, Lostock, Bolton, BL6 4BP

Wanstead is a four-bedroom detached house in Lostock, Bolton, Bolton (BL6 4BP). It has a recorded floor area of 199 m² (around 2139 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 199 m² the property is well over the postcode median (43 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £465,000 sits 78.8% above the 2009 sale of £260,000. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
