3 Balmoral Close is a detached house in Horwich, Bolton, Bolton (BL6 6NU).

The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 3-band jump.

Held since June 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 63 m² it's 22.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 5 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £227,000 sits 68.1% above the 2009 sale of £135,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
