About 23 Kingsdown Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
23 Kingsdown Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Abram, Wigan, Wigan (WN2 5RN). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1539 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (June 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since February 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. At 143 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 34 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 23.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £145,000 sits 123.1% above the 2006 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£42/sq ft) was about 54.1% below the postcode norm.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 23 Kingsdown Road is modelled from its 143 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WN2 5RN. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 5 sales are recorded for 23 Kingsdown Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 23 Kingsdown Road was lodged in August 2014 at band E and expired in August 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 23 Kingsdown Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 10 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WN2 5RN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 23 Kingsdown Road is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
