3 Higher Austins is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Lostock, Bolton, Bolton (BL6 4NA). It has a recorded floor area of 163 m² (around 1755 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2024) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.

Held since August 2008 — that's 18 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 163 m² the property is well over the postcode median (124 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £387,000 sits 54.8% above the 2008 sale of £250,000.
