Overview

About 4 Falkirk Drive

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

4 Falkirk Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Ince, Wigan, Wigan (WN2 2JH). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since October 2011. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 120 m² the property is well over the postcode median (75 m² across 46 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £218,000 sits 81.7% above the 2013 sale of £120,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in December 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

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 4 Falkirk Drive is modelled from its 120 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WN2 2JH. 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 4 Falkirk Drive. 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 4 Falkirk Drive was lodged in July 2013 at band C and expired in July 2023, 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. 1 application is matched to 4 Falkirk Drive. 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WN2 2JH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Falkirk Drive is in council tax band B. 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.
