Overview

About 8 Ashness Close

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

8 Ashness Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Horwich, Bolton, Bolton (BL6 5RL). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in December 1999. 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 £245,000 sits 311.8% above the 1999 sale of £59,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£66/sq ft) was about 68.5% below the postcode norm.
