How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Bolton Road is modelled from its 33 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR7 3AS. 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 1 Bolton Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Bolton Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Chorley (PR7 3AS). It has a recorded floor area of 33 m² (around 355 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 33 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (33–175 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows a C (score 71). The rating has held steady at C across 4 certificates since November 2011. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
It hasn't traded since July 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. At 33 m² it sits well below the postcode median (93 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 78% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, subdivision and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2007–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 20% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £112,000 is 29.5% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£244/sq ft) was about 145% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 1 Bolton Road is modelled from its 33 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR7 3AS. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1 Bolton 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 1 Bolton Road was lodged in August 2025 at band C and is valid until August 2035. 4 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 1 Bolton 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR7 3AS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Bolton Road 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.
