Overview

About 5 Amber Gardens

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

5 Amber Gardens is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Hindley, Wigan, Wigan (WN2 3RW). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 628 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £162,000 sits 62% above the 2009 sale of £100,000. At 58 m² it's 16.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (70 m² median across 25 EPCs).
