Overview

About 3 Bolton Close

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

3 Bolton Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Durham (DH1 5PH). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows an F (score 22), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it C (August 2011); the latest reading is 3 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 64), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.

At 63 m² it sits well below the postcode median (110 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £169,000 is 37.4% above the 2011 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 3 Bolton Close is modelled from its 63 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DH1 5PH. 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 3 Bolton Close. 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 3 Bolton Close was lodged in December 2013 at band F and expired in December 2023, 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. 2 applications are matched to 3 Bolton Close. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 12 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DH1 5PH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Bolton Close 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.
