Overview

About 40 Church Road

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

40 Church Road is a semi-detached house in Platt Bridge, Wigan, Wigan (WN2 3TB). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in March 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87). The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £165,000 sits 400% above the 2001 sale of £33,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£53/sq ft) was about 21.8% below the postcode norm. At 58 m² it's 21.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (74 m² median across 20 EPCs).

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 40 Church Road is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WN2 3TB. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 40 Church Road. 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 40 Church Road was lodged in April 2014 at band C and expired in April 2024, 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 40 Church Road. 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WN2 3TB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
40 Church Road 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.
