About 17 Chatham Street
17 Chatham Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wigan (WN1 3DB). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since March 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 1996–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £124,000 sits 90.8% above the 2022 sale of £65,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Last sale on file: £65,000 in November 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
