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 £186,000 sits 78.8% 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.

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 Douglas Road is modelled from its 112 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WN1 1XT. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 1 Douglas 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 Douglas Road was lodged in March 2025 at band E and is valid until March 2035. 3 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 1 Douglas 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 8 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WN1 1XT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Douglas Road is in council tax band B. 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.
