How the estimate is made
The estimate for The School House is modelled from its 273 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL6 7SL. 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.

About The School House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The School House is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Rivington, Bolton, Bolton (BL6 7SL). It has a recorded floor area of 273 m² (around 2939 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £579,000 is 33.1% above the 2006 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£148/sq ft) was about 32.9% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.

Start your researchHow 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 The School House is modelled from its 273 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL6 7SL. 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. 1 sale is recorded for The School House. 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 The School House was lodged in June 2014 at band F and expired in June 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to The School House. 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL6 7SL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- The School House is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
