Overview

About 23 Holcroft Drive

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

23 Holcroft Drive is a detached house in Abram, Wigan, Wigan (WN2 5YP). It has a recorded floor area of 158 m² (around 1701 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a C (score 72). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 90). The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 158 m² the property is well over the postcode median (112 m² across 54 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £304,000 is 36.3% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£131/sq ft) was about 16.4% below the postcode norm.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 23 Holcroft Drive is modelled from its 158 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WN2 5YP. 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 23 Holcroft Drive. 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 Holcroft Drive was lodged in March 2014 at band C and expired in March 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 Holcroft Drive. 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 5YP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
23 Holcroft Drive is in council tax band D. 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.
