Overview

About 249 Whelley

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

249 Whelley is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wigan (WN2 1DA). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 2004 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £123,000 sits 89.2% above the 2004 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£59/sq ft) was about 36.3% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs).
