Overview

About 12 Holcroft Drive

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

12 Holcroft Drive is a detached house in Abram, Wigan, Wigan (WN2 5YP). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1442 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 134 m² it's 20.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (112 m² median across 54 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £280,000 is 40% above the 2007 sale price.
