How the estimate is made
The estimate for 17a is modelled from its 207 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WN1 1PE. 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 17a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17a is an end-of-terrace house in Wigan (WN1 1PE). It has a recorded floor area of 207 m² (around 2228 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2013 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Today's modelled estimate of £146,000 is 57.6% below the 2018 sale of £344,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. Last changed hands 8 years ago, in March 2018.

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 17a is modelled from its 207 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WN1 1PE. 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 17a. 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 17a was lodged in July 2026 at band E and is valid until July 2036. 3 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 17a. 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 8 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WN1 1PE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17a 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.
