Overview

About 3 Croal Avenue

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

3 Croal Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Platt Bridge, Wigan, Wigan (WN2 5EY). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (June 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
