About 8 Acton Street
8 Acton Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wigan (WN1 2AH). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2023) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Held since April 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 96 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
