About 4 Bolton Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Bolton Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Southport (PR8 4BE). It has a recorded floor area of 263 m² (around 2831 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2015 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 263 m² the property is well over the postcode median (176 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £511,000 sits 96.5% above the 2016 sale of £260,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£92/sq ft) was about 22.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in February 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years.

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 4 Bolton Road is modelled from its 263 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR8 4BE. 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 4 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 4 Bolton Road was lodged in March 2016 at band E and expired in March 2026, 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. 1 application is matched to 4 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR8 4BE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 4 Bolton Road is in council tax band E. 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.
