About 5 Fairfield Avenue

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

5 Fairfield Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Platt Bridge, Wigan, Wigan (WN2 5AF). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.
