Overview

About 7 Berne Avenue

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

7 Berne Avenue is a semi-detached house in Horwich, Bolton, Bolton (BL6 7QZ). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 874 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since March 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
