About 28 Hillside Avenue
28 Hillside Avenue is a semi-detached house in Blackrod, Bolton, Bolton (BL6 5BS). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 865 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £197,000 sits 454.9% above the 1996 sale of £35,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£41/sq ft) was about 66.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).
