Overview

About 17 Highland Road

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

17 Highland Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Bromley Cross, Bolton, Bolton (BL7 9NL). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 745 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 69 m² it sits well below the postcode median (121 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in May 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years. Today's modelled estimate of £279,000 is 39.7% above the 2012 sale price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 17 Highland Road is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL7 9NL. 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 17 Highland Road. 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 17 Highland Road was lodged in February 2012 at band E and expired in February 2022, 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. 2 applications are matched to 17 Highland Road. 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 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL7 9NL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
17 Highland Road is in council tax band C. 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.
