Overview

About 8 Alfred Street

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

8 Alfred Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Platt Bridge, Wigan, Wigan (WN2 3TP). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since June 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Across 2002–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £143,000 sits 78.8% above the 2022 sale of £80,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). Last sale on file: £80,000 in March 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
