About 3 Leader Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Leader Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ince, Wigan, Wigan (WN1 3JH). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a loft. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
Held since April 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 111 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
