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 (106 m² across 51 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 £156,000 is 44.4% above the 2010 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£164/sq ft) was about 68.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 255 Whelley is modelled from its 61 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WN2 1DA. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 255 Whelley. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 255 Whelley was lodged in December 2009 at band F and expired in December 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 255 Whelley. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 10 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WN2 1DA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
255 Whelley is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
