Overview

About Red Cot

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

Red Cot is a two-bedroom detached house in Rivington, Bolton, Bolton (BL6 7RT). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1432 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 133 m² it sits well below the postcode median (204 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2018–2019, sale prices on this property compounded at 24.8% per year.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Red Cot is modelled from its 133 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL6 7RT. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for Red Cot. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Red Cot was lodged in March 2014 at band E and expired in March 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Red Cot. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 12 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL6 7RT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
