Overview

About 25 Downing Close

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

25 Downing Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Platt Bridge, Wigan, Wigan (WN2 5DP). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
