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 £298,000 is 33.6% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£131/sq ft) was about 15.9% below the postcode norm.
