How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1c is modelled from its 130 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WN2 5XD. 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.

About 1c
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1c is a semi-detached house in Abram, Wigan, Wigan (WN2 5XD). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1399 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a C (score 71). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since February 2014. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 90).

Today's modelled estimate of £231,000 is 35.9% above the 2007 sale price.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 1c is modelled from its 130 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WN2 5XD. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1c. 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 1c was lodged in February 2014 at band C and expired in February 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 1c. 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 5XD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1c is in council tax band C. 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.
