Overview

About 7 Half Acre Lane

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

7 Half Acre Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackrod, Bolton, Bolton (BL6 5AL). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1121 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2011) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 55). The latest certificate is from April 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Today's modelled estimate of £144,000 sits 97.3% above the 2012 sale of £73,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£65/sq ft) was about 44.1% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Last sold in October 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

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 7 Half Acre Lane is modelled from its 104 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL6 5AL. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 7 Half Acre 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 7 Half Acre Lane was lodged in April 2011 at band E and expired in April 2021, 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. 2 applications are matched to 7 Half Acre 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL6 5AL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 Half Acre Lane is in council tax band A. 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.
