Overview

About 9 Ashness Close

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

9 Ashness Close is a two-bedroom detached house in Horwich, Bolton, Bolton (BL6 5RL). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £272,000 sits 61.3% above the 2007 sale of £168,580.
