Overview

About 7 Crystal Close

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

7 Crystal Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Platt Bridge, Wigan, Wigan (WN2 5BT). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

It hasn't traded since November 2004, a hold of 22 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £170,000 sits 50.5% above the 2004 sale of £112,950. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
