Overview

About 1 Douglas Road

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

1 Douglas Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wigan (WN1 1XT). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since August 2011. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump.

Held since March 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £190,000 sits 82.7% above the 2007 sale of £104,000. One planning record on file: HMO conversion approved in 2019. Past consents include HMO conversion and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
