Overview

About 18 Essex Road

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

18 Essex Road is a semi-detached house in Standish, Wigan, Wigan (WN1 2TH). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 96 m² it's 20% larger than the typical home in the postcode (80 m² median across 21 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). 15 years since the last transfer (February 2012).
