About 17 Balniel Walk
17 Balniel Walk is a semi-detached house in Wigan (WN1 3UU). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (February 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £167,000 sits 169.4% above the 2000 sale of £62,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£65/sq ft) was about 52.2% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs).
