About 144 Bolton Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
144 Bolton Street is a mid-terrace house in Oldham (OL4 1BW). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £119,000 sits 58.7% above the 2009 sale of £75,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£83/sq ft) was about 223.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 144 Bolton Street is modelled from its 84 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL4 1BW. 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 144 Bolton Street. 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 144 Bolton Street was lodged in January 2013 at band E and expired in January 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. None is matched to 144 Bolton Street. 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 5 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 47 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL4 1BW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 144 Bolton Street is in council tax band A. 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.
