Overview

About 255 Whelley

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

255 Whelley is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wigan (WN2 1DA). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 660 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2009) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (June 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 43). The latest certificate is from December 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since April 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 61 m² it sits well below the postcode median (107 m² across 50 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1997–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £139,000 is 28.7% above the 2010 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£164/sq ft) was about 77.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
