Overview

About 16 Holcroft Drive

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

16 Holcroft Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Abram, Wigan, Wigan (WN2 5YP). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2025) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since June 2015. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 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. Today's modelled estimate of £238,000 is 28% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£182/sq ft) was about 17.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 95 m² it's 15.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (113 m² median across 54 EPCs).
