Overview

About 188 Lily Lane

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

188 Lily Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bamfurlong, Wigan, Wigan (WN2 5JT). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (August 2016); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump.

Held since October 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 118 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 45 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £169,000 sits 382.9% above the 1997 sale of £35,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£28/sq ft) was about 57.7% below the postcode norm.
