Overview

About 18 Castlecroft Avenue

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

18 Castlecroft Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackrod, Bolton, Bolton (BL6 5BA). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1476 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. At 137 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £210,000 sits 128.3% above the 2006 sale of £92,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£62/sq ft) was about 60.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
