Overview

About 1 Amber Gardens

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

1 Amber Gardens is a three-bedroom detached house in Hindley, Wigan, Wigan (WN2 3RW). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1107 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2010) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from May 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and attached land beyond the plot. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.

At 103 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1995–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £282,000 sits 108.9% above the 2012 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£122/sq ft) was about 22.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in November 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 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 1 Amber Gardens is modelled from its 103 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WN2 3RW. 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 1 Amber Gardens. 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 1 Amber Gardens was lodged in May 2010 at band D and expired in May 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Amber Gardens. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WN2 3RW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Amber Gardens is in council tax band D. 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.
