Overview

About 23 Highfield Road

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

23 Highfield Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackrod, Bolton, Bolton (BL6 5BP). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1004 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2010) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs). Last sold in May 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. Today's modelled estimate of £204,000 is 45.7% above the 2014 sale price.
