Overview

About 8 Highfield Road

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

8 Highfield Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackrod, Bolton, Bolton (BL6 5BP). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since July 2012. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Today's modelled estimate of £191,000 sits 112.2% above the 2012 sale of £90,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£102/sq ft) was about 34.5% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 13 years ago, in December 2012.
