Overview

About 8 Lakeside Cottages

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

8 Lakeside Cottages is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Standish, Wigan, Wigan (WN1 2UU). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (March 2022) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump.

Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 sits 162.3% above the 2014 sale of £61,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£80/sq ft) was about 55.2% below the postcode norm. Last sold in March 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
