Overview

About 6 Abingdon Drive

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

6 Abingdon Drive is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Platt Bridge, Wigan, Wigan (WN2 5JQ). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2017) shows a G (score 19), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it F (January 2016); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot.

At 86 m² it's 15.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (74 m² median across 16 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £134,000 sits 294.1% above the 2016 sale of £34,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£37/sq ft) was about 64.2% below the postcode norm. Last sold in April 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
