Overview

About 2 Forest Way

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

2 Forest Way is a three-bedroom detached house in Bromley Cross, Bolton, Bolton (BL7 9YE). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1135 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 105 m² it sits well below the postcode median (172 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £371,000 is 39% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£235/sq ft) was about 31.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
