About 55a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
55a is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wigan (WN1 2DF). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 52 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 38–142 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (69 versus a worst of 22). The latest certificate (September 2022) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band.
Held since June 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

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 55a is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WN1 2DF. 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 55a. 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 55a was lodged in September 2022 at band C and is valid until September 2032. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 55a. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WN1 2DF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 55a 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.
