Overview

About 17 Gas Street

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

17 Gas Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Platt Bridge, Wigan, Wigan (WN2 5LS). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. At 54 m² this is the 19th smallest of 37 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–70 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 37 units on file.

Held since June 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
